Packers-Eagles Tuesday Injury Report: Setback for MarShawn Lloyd? GREEN BAY, Wis. – Inside the Don Hutson Center on Tuesday, rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd pedaled a stationary bike while the rest of th...
Practices in limited fashion Sunday Lloyd (hamstring) was limited during Sunday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact Though Lloyd practiced for the first time since he injured his hamstring during the Packers' preseason opener Aug. 10, the rookie running back was limited in his return. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur indicated after the session that the team will be "smart" with Lloyd as he works his way back from the injury. It's not yet clear if Lloyd will be available for the Packers' Week 1 contest in Brazil against Philadelphia on Friday.

Returns to practice Sunday Lloyd (hamstring) participated in practice Sunday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Sunday marked the first time Lloyd has suited up for practice since he injured his hamstring in Green Bay's preseason opener against Cleveland on Aug. 10. It appears the rookie running back has a good chance of being available for the Packers' regular-season opener in Brazil against the Eagles on Friday after it initially seemed like he could be destined to begin the campaign on injured reserve. Lloyd's presence in the Packers' backfield could be especially important with AJ Dillon (neck) on season-ending IR.

Impact It wasn't too long ago that Lloyd seemed in danger of starting the season on IR -- albeit with a return designation -- while Dillon was in excellent shape to take the No. 2 RB role. Dillon's second stinger of the 2024 calendar year changed that, and the decision to keep Lloyd on the 53-man roster suggests the Packers expect him to be ready at some point in September. The rookie third-round pick missed most of training camp and the preseason due to hip and hamstring injuries, with the latter seeming to be his current issue. Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson are Green Bay's healthy running backs ahead of a Week 1 game against the Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Friday, Sept. 6.

Not practicing Lloyd (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Coach Matt LaFleur declined to give a timetable or provide details, merely informing reporters that Lloyd won't practice Tuesday after injuring his hamstring during Saturday's preseason game against Cleveland. The rookie told reporters after the game that he'd pushed through a hamstring injury earlier in training camp, which is perhaps surprising given that his previous absences from practice (in late July) were attributed to a hip injury. Details aside, the mounting missed time this summer will only make it more difficult for Lloyd to earn a significant role early in the season, potentially opening the door for Emanuel Wilson behind Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon.

Picks up hamstring injury Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's preseason game in Cleveland.
Impact Lloyd was the fourth Packers running back to get a touch in the team's exhibition opener behind Josh Jacobs, AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson. Prior to his departure in the third quarter, Lloyd had one carry for eight yards and caught his only target for one yard. If he's unable to return Saturday, his next chance for game action will arrive Sunday, Aug., 18 at Denver.
AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE
Making case to usurp Dillon? Lloyd was impressive during Thursday's practice and may have the necessary skills to replace AJ Dillon as Green Bay's No. 2 running back, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athlet...
Impact Lloyd is undoubtedly faster and shiftier than the 247-pound Dillon, who struggled in 2023 but then re-signed with Green Bay in the offseason and earned praise from coach Matt LaFleur for reporting to training camp in "the best shape I've seen him, hands down." As a third-round pick, Lloyd certainly is expected to be more than a No. 3 RB at some point, but there's risk of a slower-than-usual learning curve even if he looks good this summer, in part because he fumbled 10 times on 325 touches in college (about 3-4x the rate considered acceptable for a running back). It's possible Lloyd cleans that up in a hurry now that he has NFL coaching, but it'll be a tough thing to evaluate until he gets a lot of carries in actual games -- which isn't likely to happen this season if lead back Josh Jacobs stays healthy.

Goes through team drills Lloyd (hip) did team drills Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Impact After missing the early portion of training camp, Lloyd returned to individual drills Tuesday and then progressed to team work Wednesday. He'll start off fairly low on Green Bay's backfield depth chart, but the rookie third-round pick may get a chance to push AJ Dillon for the No. 2 role behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Set for individual work Tuesday Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Lloyd (hip) will participate in individual drills during Tuesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lloyd has yet to take part in team work during training camp while he manages a hip issue, but his return to individual drills offers hope that he'll soon be back on the field as a full participant. The 2024 third-round pick out of USC will likely head into the Packers' Aug. 10 preseason opener versus the Browns third on the depth chart at running back behind Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon. However, given his superior explosiveness as well as the draft capital invested in him, Lloyd has a good chance at supplanting Dillon as the preferred complement to Jacobs if the rookie can quickly move past his hip concern.

Shouldn't be sidelined long Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Lloyd (hip) will probably miss a few days of practice but shouldn't be absent long, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Lloyd is dealing with a hip injury to begin training camp, but it sounds like the issue is only minor. The 2024 third-round pick appears well positioned to carve out a role behind Josh Jacobs early in his career, but he'll need to get back on the field without any setbacks and establish himself above AJ Dillon on the depth chart. Lloyd's explosiveness and versatility should open a clear path for touches, once healthy, but he also brings ball-security concerns from his time at USC (11 fumbles on 325 touches).

Not practicing to start camp Lloyd isn't practicing Monday due to a hip injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's a suboptimal start to training camp for a rookie hoping to push AJ Dillon for backup work behind Josh Jacobs. While his 220-pound frame and 4.46 speed hint at lead-back potential, Lloyd could be brought along more slowly than a typical third-round pick after fumbling 10 times on 325 touches during his college career.
