Packers Keep Faith in MarShawn Lloyd for 2026

The Green Bay Packers have opted not to use a 2026 draft pick on a running back, a move that signals confidence in third‑round pick MarShawn Lloyd. Despite a career plagued by injuries, Lloyd has shown physical improvement and is expected to be a top backup behind Josh Jacobs. Running backs coach Ben Sirmans expressed cautious optimism, noting Lloyd’s increased strength and readiness for a full season if he remains healthy. With Wilson gone to Seattle and no new pick, the roster spot for Lloyd is wide open, and he could play a significant role in the Packers’ backfield in 2026. newsbetting.club
