12 Winners and Five Losers From Packers Minicamp

For the Green Bay Packers, starting jobs weren’t won and roster spots weren’t lost during the three weeks of offseason practices that culminated with this week’s minicamp. However, if the practices weren’t important, coaches wouldn’t have them.

Here are the winners and losers.

Winner: RB MarShawn Lloyd

The biggest development this offseason was the health of running back MarShawn Lloyd. A third-round pick in 2024, injuries have limited him to one game in his career. Among all running backs the last two seasons, Lloyd is tied for 156th with six rushing attempts with six, 162nd with 15 rushing yards and 170th with 18 total yards.

Lloyd’s extensive offseason work with a specialist appears to have paid dividends. He called it “very rewarding” to get through every practice with no issues.

“Coming in my rookie year when I did OTAs, battled a little bit of stuff,” he said. “Last year, I battled a little bit of stuff throughout the OTAs and didn’t really get reps. This year, I was able to actually finally work out the whole time, took no days off. It was pretty good. Really, really good.”

With or without Josh Jacobs, it would be an enormous lift for Green Bay’s offense if Lloyd can get on the field, stay on the field and reach his obvious potential. He could be the X-factor that propels Green Bay to new heights.
