Packers Lean on Lloyd to Lead Backfield as Jacobs Placed on Exempt List

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd is set to open the 2026 season as the lead back after Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. Lloyd, who has battled injuries, impressed in the preseason and is embracing a potentially heavy workload, with GM Brian Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur expressing confidence in his readiness. Kaleb Johnson, Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong provide depth behind Lloyd, who says he’s ready to carry as many carries as the Packers want him to handle.

Lloyd Steps Up as Packers' RB1 Ahead of 2026 Opener

MarShawn Lloyd has been named Green Bay’s No. 1 running back as the Packers head into the 2026 opener, saying he’s ready to carry the load after rehab and two quiet seasons. Coaches and GM Brian Gutekunst tout his readiness, noting full participation since OTAs. The team added reinforcements Jonnu Smith, Kaleb Johnson and Mark Redman and added two practice-squad specialists, while Warren Brinson missed practice. Lloyd will share backfield duties with Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson as Week 1 at Minnesota approaches.

Packers' backfield in flux as Jacobs out; Love's passing role could rise in fantasy

Jacobs is on the NFL’s commissioner's exempt list, leaving Green Bay’s backfield unsettled behind MarShawn Lloyd and Christopher Brooks with Kaleb Johnson added to the mix. If Jacobs misses time, Lloyd would likely handle more rushing work while Brooks handles passing downs, and Love could see more passing volume, boosting Watson, Kraft, Golden and Reed. Love could be a viable late-round target in 1QB leagues (potential top-15) and the Packers’ backfield options could drift toward Lloyd as a top-80 back, with Kaleb Johnson as depth and Brooks as a late-round PPR dart.

Suspense Looms Over Jacobs in 2026; Lloyd Poised for Packers Backfield Burst

Josh Jacobs faces two misdemeanors and an NFL investigation that could trigger a suspension in 2026, making his fantasy outlook murky with a potential 6–8 game ban. If Jacobs misses time, Packers backup MarShawn Lloyd is a must-own handcuff with standalone upside, prompting experts to target Lloyd early and treat Jacobs as a discount option in drafts. Even if Jacobs avoids suspension, wear-and-tear and Green Bay’s offensive concerns temper his ceiling, while Lloyd’s burst and camp buzz suggest a significant 2026 role if his opportunity arises.

Love, Lloyd and rookies steal the show as Packers open training camp

Green Bay opened 2026 training camp at Ray Nitschke Field with a ~90-minute practice, highlighted by Jordan Love’s rushing TD on a fake handoff, Kyron Drones’ athleticism, and an early-closing interception by undrafted rookie Marlon Jones. Zaire Franklin forced a fumble on MarShawn Lloyd, underscoring Lloyd’s durability concerns as he competes for backup work behind Josh Jacobs. Rookie Jager Burton left early with an injury while Nazir Stackhouse and Aaron Banks were activated from the PUP list. Skyy Moore led the punt return unit, Devonte Wyatt signed a three-year, $57 million extension, and the team announced its 2026 schedule and preseason vs. Pittsburgh, with Family Night set for Aug. 7. Practices start at 10:30 a.m. and are free to attend.
