Green Bay running back MarShawn Lloyd capped a walk‑in TD with a celebratory backflip at Packers training camp, signaling a healthy return from injury as Isaiah Neyor also flashed with a back‑of‑the‑end‑zone TD catch; Lloyd is 7‑for‑7 in camp and Green Bay heads toward Family Night with rising expectations for his role.
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.
Green Bay’s training camp will be a proving ground for Luke Musgrave, Marshawn Lloyd, and Carrington Valentine, as Musgrave battles for a sustained receiving role behind Tucker Kraft, Lloyd must stay healthy to serve as a dynamic backup to Josh Jacobs, and Valentine competes for a starting spot amid a revamped cornerback room after new signings and rotations, making each rep potentially career‑defining.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur says MarShawn Lloyd, the 2024 third-round pick who has appeared in only one NFL game, must stay healthy and consistently prove his ability across OTAs, training camp, and the preseason to justify the pick, a task that becomes more crucial if Josh Jacobs faces discipline and elevates Lloyd’s potential role.
Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd will miss more time due to a hamstring injury, while safety Omar Brown remains in Indianapolis for evaluation after a chest injury, impacting the team's roster and upcoming games.
Green Bay Packers face multiple injuries in their second 2025 preseason game, including safety Omar Brown with a chest contusion, running back MarShawn Lloyd with a hamstring injury, and defensive end Barryn Sorrell with a knee injury. These injuries could impact roster decisions, especially at safety and running back positions, and the team is expected to sign more players to fill the gaps.
The Green Bay Packers' second training camp practice revealed key updates including MarShawn Lloyd's return from injuries, Jordan Love's effective hard count, Micah Robinson's comeback, and the return of Nathaniel Hackett as an analyst, highlighting team progress and player developments.
Josh Jacobs has significantly bolstered the Green Bay Packers' backfield, ranking second in the NFL for rushing yards after contact and third in total rushing yards. His addition comes after the Packers moved on from Aaron Jones, opting for Jacobs' more durable and dynamic style. Jacobs' impact is evident as the Packers rank third in rushing yards per game. Additionally, rookie MarShawn Lloyd is set to return from injury, with Jacobs serving as a mentor to him.
USC Trojans will be without starting running back MarShawn Lloyd for their game against the Washington Huskies due to an unspecified reason. Senior Austin Jones is expected to take on the majority of the carries in Lloyd's absence, while sophomore Raleek Brown, who was moved to wide receiver this season, could also see some action.
