Lloyd has been mostly disappointing as the team's lead back, and Jacobs is poised to return to the lineup vs. the Lions. He should immediately step back into a bell-cow role to potentially revitalize a dismal Packers' ground game: they're dead last in EPA per rush so far this season. It leaves Lloyd where he's spent most of the past few seasons: on the sidelines. He's merely a handcuff to Jacobs at this point, and given how he performed to start the year, he probably doesn't even warrant a bench spot moving forward.

Lloyd demoted to handcuff as Jacobs returns; disappointing performance doesn't warrant roster spot.

Lloyd's opportunity as the Packers' lead back is ending with Josh Jacobs poised to return vs. the Lions. Jacobs is expected to immediately step back into a bell-cow role to address Green Bay's dismal ground game (dead last in EPA per rush). Lloyd has been mostly disappointing as the lead back and is now merely a handcuff to Jacobs. Given his poor performance to start the year, he probably doesn't warrant a bench spot moving forward.
