MarShawn Lloyd - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to IR The Packers placed Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lloyd temporarily came off injured reserve Wednesday, but will now return to IR to keep the 24-year-old eligible to return for the playoffs. Emmanuel Wilson is the only fully healthy running back for the Packers heading into Week 16 against the Bears, as Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) and Christ Brooks (chest) are both questionable for Saturday night.

Ruled out, unsurprisingly Lloyd (hamstring) is officially ruled out for Saturday's road game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lloyd came off IR temporarily on Wednesday, as part of Green Bay's reported plan to place him back on IR, to make it possible for the 2024 third-round pick to get healthy in time for a return during the playoffs. With Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) and No. 3 back Chris Brooks (chest) both officially questionable to face Chicago, Emanuel Wilson is the only fully healthy member of the Packers' backfield.

Packers used a genius loophole to keep MarShawn Lloyd's playoff dream alive With some clever roster gymnastics, the Packers have found a way to give MarShawn Lloyd an outside chance of returning this season.

Comes off IR temporarily The Packers activated Lloyd (calf/hamstring) from injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, this move is merely procedural so Green Bay can place him back on IR with the aim to get him back in the playoffs at some point. If said transaction occurs before Saturday's contest at Chicago, Lloyd would be eligible to return as soon as the divisional round. For the time being, though, the Packers will roll with the combination of Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks (chest) behind No. 1 RB Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle).

Not practicing Lloyd (calf/hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Packers head coach Matt LaFleur recently hinted that Lloyd is unlikely to play this season. The running back injured his calf while rehabbing from a hamstring injury, and then tweaked the hamstring once his calf got better. That's about how things have gone for Lloyd through two pro seasons.

Not in line for activation Packers head coach Matt LaFleur implied Tuesday that Lloyd (calf/hamstring) won't be activated this week and will stay on injured reserve for the remainder of the season, Ryan Wood...

Impact The Packers placed Lloyd on IR with a designation to return in late August, after the 24-year-old running back sustained a hamstring injury during the preseason. Lloyd then suffered a calf injury while rehabbing his hamstring, but he made enough progress for the Packers to open up his 21-day practice window Dec. 1. After turning in five straight limited practices, Lloyd tweaked his hamstring again, resulting in him being held out of the Packers' most recent session last Friday. Though Lloyd's window won't officially close until early next week, his latest setback seemingly ends any hope that he had of making a late-season comeback. Lloyd will wrap up his second NFL season having appeared in just one career game, which came back in Week 2 of the 2024 campaign.

Impact Lloyd didn't practice Friday after picking up this hamstring injury and has already been ruled out for the Week 15 contest. He has one week remaining to be activated to the Packers' active roster before reverting to injured reserve for the remainder of the season, leaving his availability for the rest of the year in doubt. Lloyd, a 2024 third-round pick from USC, has played in just one game since entering the league due to a variety of injury problems. While he remains sidelined Sunday, Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong are the only running backs on Green Bay's active roster without injury designation.

Packers receive a crushing MarShawn Lloyd injury blow just before his return Just as it appeared Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd could be nearing a return, he suffered another concerning injury setback.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • LOMBARDIAVE.COM

Not ready to return Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lloyd continues to progress in his recovery from a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve to open the season. He has been limited in practice since being designated to return from IR on Dec. 1 and is not quite ready to make his 2025 regular-season debut, which leaves Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as the top backfield depth options behind Josh Jacobs (knee). Lloyd's next opportunity to suit up is Week 16 against the Bears on Saturday, Dec. 20.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Lloyd (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lloyd is in the midst of his second week of practicing with Green Bay after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Dec. 1. He's been a limited participant in each of Green Bay's ensuing five practices, and given that he's been on injured reserve all season, he may need to log multiple full sessions before getting cleared to make his 2025 debut. Whenever he's reinstated, Lloyd may not be in line for much of a role out of the Green Bay backfield, as Emanuel Wilson has proven to be a competent backup option this season behind lead back Josh Jacobs (knee).

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lloyd has been a limited participant in each practice since the Packers designated him to return from injured reserve last week. He won't necessarily contribute this season even if deemed healthy enough to do so, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks appear to be trusted with backup roles behind Josh Jacobs.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be activated for Week 14 Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lloyd won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game. His 21-day window to resume practicing was opened Monday. The 2024 third-round draft pick has yet to suit up in the 2025 regular season.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited at practice Lloyd (calf) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact The Packers opened Lloyd's practice window to return from injured reserve Monday, and he so far has logged back-to-back capped practices as he attempts to put a calf injury behind him. The 2024 third-round pick has made just one appearance (Week 2 of last season) in his pro career due to a series of health concerns that kept him sidelined, but he now appears to be ramping up toward his first game action of the current campaign. Friday's injury report will unveil whether Lloyd has a chance to play Sunday versus the Bears, but even if he receives a designation, Green Bay will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact This marks Lloyd's first official practice of the 2025 regular season, as he's been on injured reserve since cut-down day in late August with what before Wednesday was deemed a hamstring issue. A calf injury was listed as the reason for his restrictions to begin Week 14 prep, and he'll now have two more sessions to prove his health before the Packers potentially give him a chance to make his season debut Sunday against the Bears.

MarShawn Lloyd on recovery process: 'Gotta keep your faith' RB MarShawn Lloyd spoke to the media on Wednesday about his recovery from injury and what he brings to the Green Bay Packers.

Packers drop the big MarShawn Lloyd update fans have waited months for MarShawn Lloyd has shown the impact he can make, and the Packers' second-year running back is finally close to a return.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • LOMBARDIAVE.COM

Has practice window opened The Packers opened Lloyd's (hamstring) 21-day window in which to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Lloyd came out of preseason Week 2 in mid-August with hamstring tightness, and when the Packers placed him on IR on cut-down day, they designated him for return at that point, meaning his season debut wouldn't take place until at least Week 6 of the regular season. More than three months later, he's made notable enough progress in his recovery effort, which included a visit to the West Coast about one month ago, to get back on the practice field in an official capacity. The Packers will post their first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, at which point his activity level will become known. Lloyd's first potential chance to rejoin the team's backfield mix is this coming Sunday against the Bears, but he may require a ramp-up period for Green Bay to officially clear him for game action.

Return possible this season Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans said Thursday that he believes Lloyd (hamstring) will play this season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Since the Packers drafted him in the third round of the 2024 Draft, Lloyd has made just one appearance as a pro due to a cascade of health concerns, including a hamstring injury that so far his delayed his 2025 debut. Coach Matt LaFleur has touched on Lloyd's recovery a few times during the campaign, including noting that the second-year RB traveled to the West Coast to continue his rehab in early November. Lloyd then was spotted working on the side last Thursday, indicating that he may be closing on in being designated for return from injured reserve. Until that happens, he won't be a candidate to join Josh Jacobs (knee), Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks in Green Bay's backfield.

Ramping up rehab Lloyd (hamstring) is making good progress in his rehab, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While he is still on injured reserve, Lloyd was seen off to the side at practice working up a sweat, signaling that his window of return may be close. The 24-year-old has still not been seen participating in official practices, but with Josh Jacobs suffering a knee injury this week, even more attention will be on Lloyd's recovery.

Improving, but return date TBD Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Lloyd (hamstring) recently headed to the West Coast to continue his rehab program, but the running back is without a clear timeline to ret...

Impact LaFleur noted that Lloyd headed out West to "get his body right" and noted that "results were promising," but he didn't expand much further on the second-year running back's outlook. At this stage, Lloyd doesn't look to be especially close to practicing, making it likely that his absence extends into late November, if not December. A third-round draft pick in 2024, Lloyd has appeared in just one game thus far during his time with the Packers, as he missed the majority of his rookie season while recovering from hamstring and ankle injuries as well as an emergency appendectomy.

Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs leans on his faith as he tries to bounce back after getting benched

This wasn’t the type of start Nate Hobbs had in mind when the former Las Vegas Raiders defensive back signed with the Green Bay Packers

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Still far from return to practice Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Lloyd (hamstring), who remains on IR, is not nearing a return to practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lloyd has spent the entire regular season on IR due to a hamstring injury. LaFleur offered optimism about the second-year pro's progression toward the practice field mid-October, but it seems things have since changed. It's possible that Lloyd, who has dealt with consistent injury issues since being selected by Green Bay in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has suffered a setback in his recovery. In any case, Emanuel Wilson has entrenched himself as the No. 2 option behind Josh Jacobs in the Packers' backfield, so if Lloyd does return to action this season, he'll likely compete with Chris Brooks for the No. 3 role.
