Packers Bet on MarShawn Lloyd’s 2026 Health

The Packers have not drafted a new running back for 2026, signaling confidence in third‑round pick MarShawn Lloyd, who has shown significant physical improvement after a string of injuries.

The Green Bay Packers chose not to replace departing RB Emanuel Wilson in the 2026 draft, suggesting they still see a role for 2024 third‑round pick MarShawn Lloyd. Running backs coach Ben Sirmans noted Lloyd’s lower‑body strength has improved, giving him confidence for a full season if healthy. With Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks on the roster, Lloyd’s spot as a top backup is open, though his injury history remains a concern. capturengo.org
