Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Season officially over

Lloyd (appendix) was moved from the reserve/non-football illness list to injured reserve Friday, a move that was precipitated by the running back aggravating a hamstring injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Lloyd had a trying rookie campaign, to say the least. He opened training camp by suffering a hip injury, missing five days of practice. He was able to play in the preseason opener against the Browns, but he injured his left hamstring in that contest and was sidelined for the rest of camp and exhibition season. Lloyd made his debut Week 2 versus the Colts, but he sustained a severe ankle sprain that forced a seven-week stint on IR. Green Bay designated him for return on Nov. 11, but four days later, he was diagnosed with appendicitis and landed on the reserve/NFI list. While he's made a full recovery from his appendectomy, Lloyd posted on social media Sunday that he was turning his focus toward getting healthy for next season. The recent move to IR implied that Lloyd's season was over, and with the running back confirming as much, he'll finish with six carries for 15 yards and one catch (on one target) for three yards in his sole appearance. Lloyd and workhorse Josh Jacobs are the only Packers running backs officially under contract in 2025, but Emanuel Wilson is an exclusive rights free agent and Chris Brooks is a restricted free agent, so both players likely will be retained this offseason.
