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.

Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst said Rich Bisaccia left for other opportunities rather than retirement, giving the Packers time to thoroughly evaluate candidates as Matt LaFleur searches for a new special teams coordinator.
