Lloyd set as Packers' lead back with Jacobs sidelined; scheme shift favors his role.

Lloyd is expected to be Green Bay's top ball-carrier going into the 2026 season, at least until Josh Jacobs returns from the commissioner exempt list. Despite playing only 10 regular-season snaps through Year 3 of his pro career due to injury, Lloyd is positioned as the primary running back in a Packers offense transitioning back to outside/mid-zone scheme with stretch plays and play-action bootlegs, a scheme that should suit his skill set.
