MarShawn Lloyd - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Set for pro debut Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Colts, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lloyd's pro debut was delayed due to the hamstring injury that he suffered in the Packers' preseason opener back on Aug. 10. However, after being listed as limited on four straight practice reports dating back to Week 1 prep, the rookie third-rounder has been cleared for the first game action of his career. Green Bay's backfield is powered by offseason signing Josh Jacobs, but Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson are on hand for any reps that don't go to the sixth-year pro, which may be at least a handful for both if the offense is more ground-based with Malik Willis and not Jordan Love (knee) under center.

Expected to face Colts Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to be available for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Lloyd sat out Green Bay's season-opener last week against the Eagles, but the 2024 third-rounder is poised to make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday. In that context, Lloyd would provide Green Bay with a complementary option in Week 2 behind top RB Josh Jacobs.

Questionable for Sunday Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lloyd may be putting himself in a position for his regular-season debut after logging three consecutive capped sessions during Week 2 preparations. He's been dealing with a hamstring issue since Green Bay's preseason opener on Aug. 10, so he's a bit more than a month removed from the initial injury. If Lloyd is able to suit up this weekend, he'll be playing second fiddle, at best, out of the backfield with Josh Jacobs (back) getting the all-clear for Sunday on Friday's practice report.

Stays limited Thursday Lloyd (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Dating back to last week, Lloyd has strung together three capped sessions in a row, but he continues to deal with the hamstring injury that has impacted him since Aug. 10. Friday's practice report may leave him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Colts, but the same could happen to the Packers' No. 1 RB Josh Jacobs, who has been limited this week by a back issue. Whoever among Jacobs, Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson are available this weekend has a good chance to see reps, with Malik Willis seemingly in line to be Green Bay's starting QB in place of Jordan Love (knee).

Practicing in limited fashion Lloyd (hamstring) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The same goes for starting running back Josh Jacobs, who played 72 percent of snaps in Friday's loss to Philadelphia and now seems to have a minor, undisclosed injury. Lloyd missed the season opener but could return for Week 2 or 3, at which point he'd likely be joining an offense with Malik Wills under center instead of Jordan Love (MCL). It's unclear if Lloyd will start off as the No. 3 running back or jump in ahead of Week 1 backup Emanuel Wilson, who made the most of his limited opportunities with four carries for 46 yards in the loss to Philadelphia. The Packers listed Lloyd as a limited practice participant last Thursday and Friday ahead of the season opener.

Sitting out Friday Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as inactive Friday against the Eagles in Brazil, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lloyd exited the Packers' preseason opener Aug. 10 at Cleveland due to a hamstring injury, which contained the rookie third-rounder to one limited practice (Thursday) during Week 1 prep. The lack of activity wasn't enough for him to make his NFL debut, leaving Emanuel Wilson (hip) and practice-squad elevation Ellis Merriweather as the available running backs behind starter Josh Jacobs. Lloyd will turn his focus to getting healthy for a Week 2 matchup with the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 15.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Eagles in Brazil, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact A hamstring injury has plagued Lloyd since Aug. 10 and followed the rookie third-round pick into Week 1 prep, which kept him off the practice field Tuesday but didn't stop him from logging a limited session Thursday. Fellow RB Emanuel Wilson (hip) also had a cap on his reps all week and heads into Friday's contest listed as questionable, placing a cloud over who among the duo will be the No. 2 back behind starter Josh Jacobs in the wake of AJ Dillon's season-ending stinger.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gauged as limited participant Lloyd (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact The Packers didn't hold a formal practice Wednesday while traveling to Brazil in advance of Friday's game against the Eagles, but Lloyd's limited listing represents a step forward after he was a non-participant in Tuesday's session. Lloyd was sidelined for most of August with the hamstring injury, so even if he does get cleared to make his NFL debut Friday, the rookie could still find himself third in line for snaps out of the backfield behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson (hip).

Misses practice, but no setbacks Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Lloyd (hamstring) did not practice but hasn't suffered any setbacks in his recovery, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact LaFleur said Lloyd, who had logged back-to-back limited practices, "has had two good days," and that his absence Tuesday is "just part of the process." Nonetheless, it's not an ideal development for the rookie third-round pick, who missed much of training camp after injuring his hamstring in Green Bay's preseason opener Aug. 10. Tuesday's official practice report for Week 1 will reveal more information about Lloyd's chances of being cleared to play Friday in Brazil during the Packers' regular-season opener against Philadelphia.

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.

Avoids IR, unlike AJ Dillon Lloyd (hamstring) is on Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, while fellow running back AJ Dillon (neck) has been placed on season-ending injured reserve, Matt Schneidman of The Athle...

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.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2024 • 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.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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).

JULY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.
