As the Packers emerged from the bye week, looking to bounce back from a loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears this week, Green Bay may be getting some quality depth onto the field.
This week, the Packers opened the practice window for rookie running back Marshawn Lloyd as he looks to return from an ankle injury that he suffered six carries into his NFL debut earlier this season against the Colts.
