FantasyPros Articles on MarShawn Lloyd
From the article
That leaves MarShawn Lloyd as the Packers' No. 1 running back entering the season. To this point, Lloyd has been known for little more than his inability to stay healthy. Lloyd reportedly spent the offseason working with a doctor who found that lingering issues from the 2020 ACL tear were causing Lloyd's hips and ankles to overcompensate during deceleration.
STACKED’s take
Lloyd gets lead-back role but injury history and committee risk cloud outlook.
Lloyd is expected to be the Packers' No. 1 running back in Week 1 after Josh Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list due to a domestic incident charge. However, Lloyd's career has been plagued by injuries: he tore his ACL before his first college season, missed time with thigh and hamstring injuries at South Carolina, and suffered hamstring, hip, and ankle injuries in 2024 before missing the entire 2025 regular season. The source notes Lloyd spent the offseason working with a doctor who identified lingering ACL issues causing compensatory hip and ankle problems; Lloyd has adjusted his training and made it through camp and preseason intact. The Packers may also use veteran Chris Brooks and possibly Pierre Strong Jr. or Kaleb Johnson in Week 1 against a sturdy Minnesota run defense (9th in DVOA vs. run, 3.9 yards per carry allowed).
