The young running back only managed to play in one game for this team over two years, as he is still on injured reserve dealing with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Last week, head coach Matt LaFleur said Lloyd is getting &#8220;closer&#8221; but still has some levels to clear before getting back on the field. Nonetheless, the Packers have relied on Emanuel Wilson as the RB2 in the offense, and the results have been underwhelming to say the least.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">With that in mind, Wilson&#8217;s struggles show that Lloyd may in fact have a spot in rotation whenever he gets back on the field.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">MarShawn Lloyd Spot in RB Rotation May Be Still Available After All<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Wilson is second on the team in team snaps (77) at running back this season. In Sunday&#8217;s win over the Arizona Cardinals, he played in a season-high 34% of the offensive snaps (19 total plays) but didn&#8217;t do much in those reps. He finished with seven carries for 19 rushing yards, along with one catch for one receiving yard.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">This should have been an ideal matchup for Wilson to step up, considering that Josh Jacobs was dealing with a calf injury and illness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">In addition to that, the Cardinals defense gave up 150-plus rushing yards from Weeks 4-6.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It looked like there could be some success there but Wilson didn&#8217;t capitalize. Instead, he looked lackluster out there and it still looks like Lloyd is the best bet behind Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The biggest problem with Lloyd is that wasn&#8217;t been able to stay healthy. As a rookie in 2024, he played in one game due to hip, hamstring, and ankle injuries. He even had appendicitis, which caused him to have an emergency appendectomy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The list is getting long with different injuries but the Packers can&#8217;t hide that when healthy, he&#8217;s their second best tailback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">In his collegiate career with South Carolina and USC, Lloyd had 1,621 rushing yards and 19 rushing scores. He added 452 receiving yards and two receiving scores as well. It would be great if he stayed healthy enough to replicate even a fraction of that success on an NFL field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">While the Packers have yet to see Lloyd in full force in the NFL due to his injuries, Green Bay may not have a better backup option on the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Whenever he gets healthy in 2025, he could be asked to spell Jacobs at times, since no one has stepped up as a reliable backup so far this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packers Wrestling With Unfortunate MarShawn Lloyd Reality After Week 7 Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (32) takes a handoff in a drill during practice on&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":110844,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
