Packers Trust MarShawn Lloyd to Return in 2026

The Packers have not drafted a running back for 2026, signaling confidence in rookie MarShawn Lloyd after a 2024 season hampered by injuries.

After letting Emanuel Wilson depart, Green Bay left the running‑back position undeveloped in the draft, hinting the team still believes in 2024 pick MarShawn Lloyd. Lloyd has only played one regular‑season game, but running backs coach Ben Sirmans says his lower‑body strength has improved and he is ready to compete in 2026 if healthy. With Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks on the roster, Lloyd’s spot is open and the team’s optimism remains high, though they are awaiting his full recovery. rouesnews.click
