Packers Eye MarShawn Lloyd for 2026

The Packers have not added a running back in the 2026 draft and are keeping faith in rookie MarShawn Lloyd, who has battled injuries but shows physical improvement.

The Green Bay Packers have not used a draft pick on a running back in 2026 and are keeping a window open for rookie MarShawn Lloyd, who has shown marked physical improvement. Running backs coach Ben Sirmans noted Lloyd’s lower-body strength and overall readiness, expressing cautious optimism that he could contribute as a backup to Josh Jacobs in training camp. fishroad-app.com

Lloyd, a third‑round pick in 2024, has been injury‑plagued but possesses explosive speed and receiving ability. With the departure of Emanuel Wilson and no new RB draft pick, Lloyd’s spot on the 53‑man roster is wide open if he remains healthy.
