• Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Not shutting door on 2024 return

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  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 LaFleur. [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.

• Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Moves to NFI list

  11/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  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 would 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.

• Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Dealing with two injuries

  11/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  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 appeared on Green Bay's injury report 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) was also a limited participant 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. Head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't revealed whether Lloyd will be activated before Sunday's game against the Bears, or if Lloyd will leapfrog fellow running backs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks on the depth chart.

• Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Week 11 Waiver Priority List

  11/12/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  The Packers designated Lloyd to return from injured reserve from the ankle injury that has kept him out all season. We'll see what happens when he's healthy, but he could emerge as the No. 2 running back for Green Bay behind Josh Jacobs. In deeper leagues, it's worth stashing Lloyd for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. He could be a difference-maker if ever given an expanded role.
