Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd began the regular season on the injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in August. Lloyd’s short time with the Packers has already been marred by
health issues, including an emergency appendectomy during the third-round pick’s rookie season.
When asked if Lloyd would be back in the near future, LaFleur responded, “I wouldn’t count on that anytime soon,” on Wednesday. It’s tough to believe that a hamstring issue would take more than two months to recover from, but that’s where Lloyd, who has played all of 10 snaps on offense through two NFL seasons, finds himself.
So don’t expect the team to diverge from their backfield of Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks in the coming games. The addition of Lloyd to the 53-man roster would likely mean that one of Wilson or Brooks would have to be moved on from.
Beyond Lloyd, LaFleur also added that defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot), who missed practice on Wednesday, is considered day-to-day by the team. Kicker Brandon McManus, who has only been a limited participant in practice for the last month, is going to kick on Wednesday.
