MarShawn Lloyd

Lloyd has lost time in each of his first two seasons to soft-tissue injuries (calf/hamstring in 2025) on top of a 2020 ACL tear, and a fresh groin/hamstring issue popped up in 2026 camp before he recovered for Week 1. A specialist traced the pattern to ACL-related compensation, but he still has to prove a full, healthy workload is sustainable.

Green Bay has publicly framed the backfield as a committee involving Kaleb Johnson (acquired via trade from Pittsburgh) and Chris Brooks, and Josh Jacobs remains on the roster pending resolution of his Commissioner's Exempt List status — he's expected to reclaim carries once available, capping Lloyd's runway as a true workhorse.

Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List in late August 2026 after misdemeanor domestic-violence charges, a circumstance that historically carries a suspension of roughly six games, and Lloyd opens the season atop the depth chart as the early beneficiary.

After months at a specialized injury-rehab institute addressing lower-body compensation patterns tied to his old ACL tear, Lloyd made it through a full training camp and preseason unscathed for the first time in his career.
