Packers Provide Injury Updates for Omar Brown, MarShawn Lloyd, Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers safety Omar Brown remains hospitalized in Indianapolis after suffering an injured lung during Saturday’s preseason game over the Colts, coach Matt LaFleur said on Sunday.

“Hopefully,” Brown will be released from hospital and return to Green Bay on Monday, LaFleur said.

“That’s a pretty serious thing but he’s showing a lot of improvement, so that’s a positive,” LaFleur added.

Incredibly, LaFleur said, Brown was injured on the first kickoff of the second half and played about 12 minutes of the third quarter.

“He’s done a lot of good things. He’s made plays on the ball and he’s shown a lot of toughness,” LaFleur said. “That says a lot about the guy in terms of how tough he is.”

Meanwhile, running back MarShawn Lloyd and defensive end Barryn Sorrell are “going to miss some time,” LaFleur said. Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury at the end of his 33-yard reception in the second quarter and Sorrell suffered a knee injury on the first punt.

It’s the latest injury for Lloyd, who played in only one game as a rookie and had just come back from a groin injury.,

“I don’t know what to make of it other than the fact that he’s had to fight through a lot of adversity,” LaFleur said. “Hopefully, he can rebound from this and we can get him back at some point in time, because he has shown a skill-set and playmaking ability, because that was a heck of a play.”
