Packers Stay Optimistic About MarShawn Lloyd for 2026

The Packers have shown confidence in rookie MarShawn Lloyd, expecting him to contribute as a backup to Josh Jacobs in 2026 after a limited 2024 season marred by injuries.

The Green Bay Packers have signaled continued faith in third‑round pick MarShawn Lloyd, who has yet to play a full season after a back‑to‑back injury‑plagued start. Despite letting running back Emanuel Wilson depart in free agency and not picking up a replacement in the 2026 draft, the team views Lloyd as a potential depth piece behind Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks. argolida.life

Running backs coach Ben Sirmans praised Lloyd’s physical improvement, noting he feels stronger and ready to play a full season if healthy. Lloyd’s talent as a runner and receiver is unquestioned, but availability remains the key question heading into training camp.
