MarShawn Lloyd Injury News & Updates

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

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.

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 return from injured reserve, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

LaFleur noted that Lloyd headed out West to "get his body right" and added that the "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 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.

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.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Lloyd (hamstring), who remains on IR, is getting closer to a return to practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.comg reports.

Lloyd began the regular season on IR and has already missed more than the requisite minimum four contests, so he's eligible to be designated for a return to practice at any point, once Green Bay deems in healthy enough. Once that transaction is submitted, Lloyd will have a 21-day window wherein he can be evaluated at practice without counting against the active roster. The second-year pro will be positioned for a reserve role behind lead back Josh Jacobs once back in action, but Lloyd's early-season absence has allowed both Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks to further establish themselves as reserve backfield options.

The Packers placed Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Lloyd emerged from preseason Week 2 action with hamstring tightness, marking yet another health concern that will cause the 2024 third-round pick to miss regular-season games. In fact, he's made only one appearance (Week 2 last year) in his career to date and now won'[t be eligible to suit up until at least Sunday, Oct. 12 versus the Bengals following Tuesday's transaction. The Packers backfield will kick off the upcoming campaign with Josh Jacobs leading the way and Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Sunday that Lloyd "is going to miss some time" due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lloyd did not return to Saturday's game after injuring his hamstring during his 44-yard catch early in the second quarter. The 2024 third-rounder has been hampered by hamstring injuries since entering the league, and that continues to be an issue for him as he enters his sophomore campaign. An exact timeline for Lloyd's return hasn't been established, but he is in jeopardy of missing the Packers' Week 1 contest against the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7. Emanuel Wilson appears to be the clear-cut RB2 behind Josh Jacobs due to Lloyd's injury.

Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury early in the second quarter of Saturday's 23-19 preseason win over the Colts and did not return, Tom Silverstein of USA Today reports.

Lloyd suffered the injury when he was tackled high and low by two defenders at the end of his 44-yard catch at the 13:26 mark in the second quarter. The 2024 third-rounder was able to walk off the field under his own power but ended up being held out for the rest of the game after consulting with trainers. Lower-body injuries have not been a stranger for Lloyd, who appeared in just one regular-season game in his rookie campaign due to two separate hamstring injuries and appendicitis. He also suffered a groin injury in late July that caused him to miss the Packers' preseason opener against the Jets. Lloyd's inability to stay on the field could have him lose out to Emanuel Wilson as the No. 2 running back behind Josh Jacobs. Lloyd's practice participation over the coming week will indicate his chances of playing in Green Bay's preseason finale against Seattle on Saturday.

Lloyd rushed six times for 15 yards and secured one of four targets for 33 yards in the Packers' 23-19 preseason win over the Colts on Saturday afternoon.

Healthy after overcoming a non-contact groin injury that kept him out of the preseason opener against the Jets, Lloyd drew the start with Josh Jacobs resting and was heavily involved. The second-year back found tough sledding on the ground and was inefficient with his targets, but he did put together a nice splash play on his one catch, which came on Green Bay's third possession and moved the Packers into Colts territory. Lloyd's washout of a rookie season aside, the USC product is thought to have a good chance of eclipsing Emanuel Wilson as the No. 2 back at some point if he can remain healthy.

Lloyd is in line to make his 2025 preseason debut Saturday versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lloyd missed Green Bay's preseason opener against the Jets while working his way back from a non-contact groin injury, but he retook the practice field Monday and has since gained full clearance. As the 2024 third-round pick competes with Emmanuel Wilson to entrench himself as the top backup to workhorse starter Josh Jacobs, his foremost goal will be to stay healthy after having been limited to just one regular-season appearances as a rookie. With Malik Willis starting versus Indianapolis on Saturday in lieu of Jordan Love (thumb) and Josh Jacobs resting, per Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site, coach Matt LaFleur could focus on the rushing game and provide Lloyd expanded opportunities to demonstrate his athleticism.

Lloyd (groin) is participating in practice Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lloyd missed roughly two weeks of practice, plus Green Bay's preseason opener against the Jets, due to a non-contact groin injury, but he now appears back to full health. Fellow backup running back Emanuel Wilson (knee) also got back on the practice field Monday. Lloyd is competing to secure the No. 2 role behind workhorse starter Josh Jacobs, and he could get a chance to suit up for preseason action Saturday on the road at Indianapolis.

Lloyd (groin) is handling rehab work on a side field at Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lloyd is back with the rehab group for the first time since he picked up a non-contact groin injury late July. While the 2024 third-round pick likely doesn't have enough time to gain clearance for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets, it's encouraging to see him making progress, and it's possible he could be ready to suit up against the Colts on Aug. 16. Once back at full health, Lloyd will resume competing with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks for the No. 2 running back role behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Lloyd (groin) is not dealing with a long-term injury "but I wouldn't anticipate him this week" at practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lloyd suffered what's been described as a non-contact groin injury during Monday's practice, and while it appears he'll be sidelined until at least next week, it's a positive development to hear that the 2024 third-round pick has at least avoided a long-term issue. As a rookie, Lloyd was limited to one regular-season appearance due to a combination of hip, hamstring and ankle injuries, as well as appendicitis. As long as he can get healthy and then remain on the field, Lloyd will face a real opportunity in training camp to secure the No. 2 role behind workhorse Josh Jacobs, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as his competition.

Lloyd (groin) is not practicing Tuesday due to a soft-tissue injury sustained during Monday's session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lloyd suffered what head coach Matt LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst now believe to have been a non-contact injury during Monday's training camp session, per Bill Huber of SI.com. The 2024 third-round pick's current groin issue is the latest in a series of unfortunate injuries, including hip, hamstring and ankle problems, in addition to appendicitis, which limited him to a single regular-season appearance as a rookie. Lloyd will work to get healthy in time for Green Bay's preseason opener Aug. 9 versus the Jets, and he still has over a month to get right before Week 1 at home against the Lions on Sept. 7.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the injury Lloyd (undisclosed) sustained at Monday's practice may have been non-contact but is still being evaluated, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lloyd was initially reported to have been injured as the result of a hit from corner Nate Hobbs, but LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst now believe the injury occurred before contact, per Bill Huber of SI.com. "Unfortunately [Lloyd has] had to fight through a lot of adversity," LaFleur said, referring to the fact that hamstring injuries, a severe ankle sprain and appendicitis limited the 2024 third-round pick to one appearance during his rookie campaign, per Demovsky . Lloyd has reportedly impressed early in training camp, but if he's sidelined long it could pave the way for Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks to again entrench themselves as the to backups to Josh Jacobs.

Lloyd limped off the field at practice Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lloyd stayed out on the field but didn't continue to practice, instead watching from behind the huddle without a helmet. Injuries and appendicitis limited him to one appearance during his rookie season, while Emanuel Wilson took 103 carries for 502 yards and four TDs in the regular season as Green Bay's No. 2 RB. Assuming Monday's injury isn't serious, Lloyd is set to compete with Wilson, Chris Brooks and others for backup roles behind returning workhorse Josh Jacobs.

Lloyd (appendix) has no restrictions at practice and is slated to be a full participant when Green Bay's OTAs begin May 27, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lloyd was limited to just one appearance in his rookie season, first due to a hamstring injury sustained during the Packers' preseason opener, then an ankle sprain that required seven weeks on IR to heal, and finally appendicitis that popped up just after his practice window opened. Now healthy, the 2024 third-rounder again faces opportunity to compete for the No. 2 role behind workhorse Josh Jacobs. Green Bay didn't make notable additions to the running back room in free agency or April's draft, though Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks proved capable last season and remain on hand. Lloyd boasts playmaking speed and pass-catching chops, but after having missed most of training camp and the regular season Year 1, he may still have developmental work to do relating to the ball-security issues that plagued him in college.

Lloyd was moved from the reserve/non-football illness list to injured reserve last Friday, per the NFL's transaction log, a move that was precipitated by the running back aggravating a hamstring injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

A third-round pick of the Packers in the 2024 Draft, Lloyd had a trying rookie campaign, to say the least. He opened training camp by suffering a hip injury on Day 1, missing five days of practice. He was able to play in the preseason opener against the Browns, but he injured his left hamstring in that contest and was sidelined for the rest of camp and exhibition season. Lloyd made his pro debut Week 2 versus the Colts, but he sustained a severe ankle sprain that forced a seven-week stint on IR. Green Bay designated him for return on Nov. 11, but four days later, he was diagnosed with appendicitis and landed on reserve/NFI. While the ailment isn't an issue anymore, Lloyd posted on social media Sunday, "I will use this time to get my health back and get ready for next season," among other things. The recent move to IR implied that Lloyd's season was over, and with the RB confirming as much, he'll finish with six carries for 15 yards and one catch (on one target) for three yards in his sole appearance as a pro

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that he hasn't "shut the door" on the idea of Lloyd (appendix) playing again this season, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

"I never want to shut the door on that," said LeFleur. [Lloyd]'s just gonna focus on continuing to get better and when he can go, he'll go." Lloyd had an appendectomy in mid-November, right when he appeared ready to return from a two-month stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. The Packers had to activate him from IR and place him on the non-football injury list to keep him eligible for a return this season -- a move that won't happen for Week 16 but apparently hasn't been ruled out for the very end of the regular season and/or the playoffs.

The Packers placed Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) on the non-football illness list Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Green Bay designated Lloyd for return from injured reserve last Wednesday, opening a 21-day window in which to get him back on the active roster for the first time since he sprained his ankle Week 2 against the Colts. Only two days later, though, he felt pain in his side and then was diagnosed with appendicitis. The Packers activated him from IR on Monday with the anticipation that they'd place him on a different reserve list in the near future, which now has come to pass. This move allows the team to get the rookie third-round pick back later this season once he completes his recovery, but in the meantime Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks will continue to earn the backfield reps that don't go to starter Josh Jacobs on game days.

The Packers reinstated Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) from injured reserve Monday.

Though Lloyd will temporarily get added back on the 53-man roster, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic relays that the rookie running back will likely be returned to IR or another reserve list after he required an emergency appendectomy Friday. Lloyd had missed the Packers' final seven games before a Week 10 bye due to a high-ankle sprain, but he had his 21-day evaluation window opened last Monday. However, Lloyd was a limited participant in just two practices on account of the ankle sprain as well as a hamstring injury before he reported abdominal pain and was diagnosed with appendicitis. Assuming he's eventually placed back on a reserve list, Lloyd would have to miss at least another four games, but he would still be eligible for activation again beginning in Week 16.

Lloyd (ankle) missed Friday's practice due to appendicitis and won't be available for Sunday's game at Chicago, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

The Packers designated Lloyd on Monday to return from injured reserve, subsequently listing him as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to ankle and hamstring injuries. It seems the newly reported hamstring injury isn't serious and wouldn't have prevented him from playing this week, but Lloyd now has an entirely different issue to deal with, after missing the past seven games with a high-ankle sprain. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that the team will talk to the league about a possible extension/exception for the 21-day window when a player is designated to return from IR, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Reading between the lines, Lloyd is expected to miss at least two or three more weeks while recovering from surgery to address the appendicitis.

Lloyd (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

After being designated for return from injured reserve earlier this week, Lloyd has gone down as a limited participant in both of the Packers' first two official practices coming out of a Week 10 bye. The rookie was previously placed on IR on Sept. 17 due to a high-ankle sprain, and though Lloyd is also being listed with a hamstring issue on Green Bay's injury report, head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that a scan on Lloyd's hamstring came back clean, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. At this stage, a decision on whether Lloyd is activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears may hinge on how he looks from a conditioning standpoint in practice after having not played since Week 2. The Packers have Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks on hand as capable depth options behind lead back Josh Jacobs (quadricep), so the team may not have a pressing need to bring back Lloyd this week.

Lloyd practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to ankle and hamstring injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers designated Lloyd for return from injured reserve Monday, and in his first session since Week 2 prep, he showed up not only with an ankle issue but another health concern as well. The former is the high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him the last seven games, while the latter is a new injury. Green Bay's top running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) also was limited Wednesday, leaving question marks in the team's backfield ahead of Sunday's game in Chicago.

Lloyd (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

The Packers designated Lloyd to return from injured reserve Monday, opening a 21-day window in which he can practice without being placed on the active roster. It's unclear at this point if he'll be activated before Sunday's game against the Bears or if he'll leapfrog fellow running backs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks on the depth chart.

The Packers designated Lloyd (ankle) for return from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

As the Packers returned from their bye week, they appear poised to get back the rookie third-round pick for the first time since he suffered a sprained ankle during a Week 2 win against the Colts. The team's top running back Josh Jacobs seemed to intimate as much earlier Monday, telling Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, "I'm excited to see him go this week." Emanuel Wilson and recently Chris Brooks have been spelling Jacobs out of the backfield, but Lloyd could soon join them if he shows well enough in practice this week.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Lloyd (ankle) will be ready to come off injured reserve in the near future, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Gutekunst suggested that Lloyd will take over the 53-man roster spot vacated by edge rusher Preston Smith, who was traded to the Steelers on Tuesday. The Packers are on bye this week, but if the Packers elect to open Lloyd's 21-day evaluation window in Week 11, the rookie running back could return to action as early as the team's Nov. 17 matchup with the Bears. After missing much of training camp and the preseason with hip and hamstring injuries, Lloyd didn't play Week 1, then carried six times for 15 yards and recorded a three-yard reception in his NFL debut in Week 2. He sprained his ankle in that Sept. 15 contest and was placed on IR two days later.

Lloyd (ankle) is not quite ready to return to practice with the Packers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lloyd was eligible to return to practice Wednesday after four weeks on injured reserve with an ankle injury, but he isn't in a place to return yet. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that the running back is "getting closer" and when asked if Lloyd would be able to practice next week, LaFleur answered by saying "we'll see." The running back has been limited to just 10 offensive snaps this season, turning six carries into 15 yards while catching one pass for three yards. Once healthy, Lloyd will compete with Emanuel Wilson for reps behind Josh Jacobs in the backfield with Green Bay.

The Packers placed Lloyd (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The rookie third-round pick missed considerable time in training camp and the preseason with a hamstring injury and was inactive for the Packers' season-opening loss to the Eagles before he made his NFL debut in the Week 2 win over the Colts. Though he played just 10 snaps against Indianapolis and carried six times for 15 yards and gained three yards on a reception, Lloyd sprained his ankle along the way. He'll now get some extended recovery time, as Lloyd will miss at least the next four games after landing on IR. The Packers signed Chris Brooks off their practice squad to provide a third option in the backfield behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson.

Lloyd said Monday he suffered an ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Colts and feels day-to-day, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lloyd expressed frustration with the series of injuries he's already had to deal with in his burgeoning NFL career, but it looks like he could have a chance of getting healthy in time to play Week 3 versus the Titans. The rookie third-round pick entered Sunday's win over Indianapolis having just recovered from a hamstring issue, but he picked up an ankle sprain after playing just 10 offensive snaps.

Lloyd sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's contest against the Colts.

Lloyd limped off the field after rushing for no gain in the waning minutes of the Packers' Week 2 matchup. At the time of his exit, he totaled six carries for 15 yards and reeled in his only target for three yards.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Lloyd (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

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).

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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 suit up Friday in Brazil during the Packers' regular-season opener against Philadelphia, though LaFleur said him sitting Tuesday is part of a plan to play.

Lloyd (hamstring) was limited during Sunday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

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.

Lloyd (hamstring) participated in practice Sunday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

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.

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 Athletic reports.

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.

Lloyd (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

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.

Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's preseason game in Cleveland.

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.

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 Athletic.

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.

Lloyd (hip) did team drills Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

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.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Lloyd (hip) will participate in individual drills during Tuesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

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.

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.

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).

Lloyd isn't practicing Monday due to a hip injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

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.
