Running Back MarShawn Lloyd Shares Injury Update After Packers Minicamp

Following the Packers' minicamp, Lloyd shared a positive injury update in a recent media availability.

"[I've been] 100 percent [for] some time now," Lloyd said. "I've been doing things ... on the side. Just taking things slower, but it's been good being able to be back fully." 

So what does this mean for the Green Bay offense?

Head coach Matt LaFleur's offense is in good shape because of its depth, even without a solidified No. 1 wide receiver. Josh Jacobs already established a top tier run game, so bringing Lloyd into the mix would only add more dimension.

In the 2024 regular season, Jacobs totaled 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns on 301 carries. Being ranked in the top five of running backs in the league after last season and raising the bar for himself heading into 2025, the veteran will undoubtedly have another star season.

If Lloyd can stay healthy, it will also assist Jordan Love behind center. The quarterback struggled to adjust fully after suffering a knee injury and other health issues last season, and the passing game is still unknown with wide receivers piling up. Having a solid running back situation that extends beyond Jacobs alongside Tucker Kraft coming off a breakout year will be nothing but help.

"I think we're capable of being a really good football team – a really good competitive football team," LaFleur shared in a media availability following the conclusion of minicamp.
