Packers' MarShawn Lloyd Returns to Practice

Rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd has returned to practice for the Green Bay Packers after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during the preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. Although limited in practice, Lloyd's return raises hopes for his participation in the upcoming season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. With AJ Dillon placed on injured reserve, Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson are vying for backup roles behind newly signed starter Josh Jacobs. Lloyd, who was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is expected to contribute significantly, although his lack of practice time may affect his integration into the offense. Head coach Matt LaFleur emphasized the importance of being cautious with Lloyd as he ramps up his activity. The Packers aim to build chemistry with Lloyd to enhance their run game, which is crucial for quarterback Jordan Love's performance this season.
