Who Should I Start? MarShawn Lloyd or Sean Tucker

Monday, August 11, 1:06 PM

Green Bay Packers running backs MarShawn Lloyd (groin) and Emanuel Wilson (knee) were both back at Monday's training camp practice, according to Packers beat writer Mike Spofford. It's good news for Green Bay's backfield heading into Week 2 of the preseason. Lloyd, who played in just one game in his rookie season in 2024 due to injuries, missed the last couple weeks at camp with a non-contact groin injury, but now he's back on the field and should play in the second preseason game this Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts as he looks to secure the RB2 role behind starter Josh Jacobs. Lloyd will be competing with both Wilson and Chris Brooks for change-of-pace work in his second NFL season, and although he's proven to be very injury-prone early in his career, he's still the most intriguing RB in Green Bay behind Jacobs with lots of big-play ability.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles wants to see running back Sean Tucker get the ball more in 2025, according to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Tucker is entering his third year with the team and has logged 65 career carries in 28 games played. Tampa Bay has a clear top two in their running back room with Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, but White (groin) left the team's preseason game on Saturday due to a groin injury. According to Smith, Bowles' comments about wanting Tucker more involved in the offense came even before White got hurt. Assuming White can return relatively quickly, it sounds like Tampa Bay may be planning to use all three backs. That could potentially impact the fantasy outlook for Irving, who currently profiles as a low-end RB1.
