The Packers placed Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd emerged from preseason Week 2 action with hamstring tightness, marking yet another health concern that will cause the 2024 third-round pick to miss regular-season games. In fact, he's made only one appearance (Week 2 last year) in his career to date and now won'[t be eligible to suit up until at least Sunday, Oct. 12 versus the Bengals following Tuesday's transaction. The Packers backfield will kick off the upcoming campaign with Josh Jacobs leading the way and Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Sunday that Lloyd "is going to miss some time" due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd did not return to Saturday's game after injuring his hamstring during his 44-yard catch early in the second quarter. The 2024 third-rounder has been hampered by hamstring injuries since entering the league, and that continues to be an issue for him as he enters his sophomore campaign. An exact timeline for Lloyd's return hasn't been established, but he is in jeopardy of missing the Packers' Week 1 contest against the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7. Emanuel Wilson appears to be the clear-cut RB2 behind Josh Jacobs due to Lloyd's injury.

Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury early in the second quarter of Saturday's 23-19 preseason win over the Colts and did not return, Tom Silverstein of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd suffered the injury when he was tackled high and low by two defenders at the end of his 44-yard catch at the 13:26 mark in the second quarter. The 2024 third-rounder was able to walk off the field under his own power but ended up being held out for the rest of the game after consulting with trainers. Lower-body injuries have not been a stranger for Lloyd, who appeared in just one regular-season game in his rookie campaign due to two separate hamstring injuries and appendicitis. He also suffered a groin injury in late July that caused him to miss the Packers' preseason opener against the Jets. Lloyd's inability to stay on the field could have him lose out to Emanuel Wilson as the No. 2 running back behind Josh Jacobs. Lloyd's practice participation over the coming week will indicate his chances of playing in Green Bay's preseason finale against Seattle on Saturday.

Lloyd rushed six times for 15 yards and secured one of four targets for 33 yards in the Packers' 23-19 preseason win over the Colts on Saturday afternoon.

EDGE Analysis

Healthy after overcoming a non-contact groin injury that kept him out of the preseason opener against the Jets, Lloyd drew the start with Josh Jacobs resting and was heavily involved. The second-year back found tough sledding on the ground and was inefficient with his targets, but he did put together a nice splash play on his one catch, which came on Green Bay's third possession and moved the Packers into Colts territory. Lloyd's washout of a rookie season aside, the USC product is thought to have a good chance of eclipsing Emanuel Wilson as the No. 2 back at some point if he can remain healthy. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, however, Lloyd did take a hit on his 33-yard reception, and coach Matt LaFleur merely answered "we'll see" when asked about the second-year running back's health.

Lloyd is in line to make his 2025 preseason debut Saturday versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd missed Green Bay's preseason opener against the Jets while working his way back from a non-contact groin injury, but he retook the practice field Monday and has since gained full clearance. As the 2024 third-round pick competes with Emmanuel Wilson to entrench himself as the top backup to workhorse starter Josh Jacobs, his foremost goal will be to stay healthy after having been limited to just one regular-season appearances as a rookie. With Malik Willis starting versus Indianapolis on Saturday in lieu of Jordan Love (thumb) and Josh Jacobs resting, per Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site, coach Matt LaFleur could focus on the rushing game and provide Lloyd expanded opportunities to demonstrate his athleticism.

Lloyd (groin) is participating in practice Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd missed roughly two weeks of practice, plus Green Bay's preseason opener against the Jets, due to a non-contact groin injury, but he appears to be back to full health. Fellow backup running back Emanuel Wilson (knee) also got back on the practice field Monday. Lloyd is competing to secure the No. 2 role behind workhorse starter Josh Jacobs, and he could get a chance to suit up for preseason action Saturday on the road at Indianapolis.

Lloyd (groin) is handling rehab work on a side field at Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd is back with the rehab group for the first time since he picked up a non-contact groin injury late July. While the 2024 third-round pick likely doesn't have enough time to gain clearance for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets, it's encouraging to see him making progress, and it's possible he could be ready to suit up against the Colts on Aug. 16. Once back at full health, Lloyd will resume competing with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks for the No. 2 running back role behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Lloyd (groin) is not dealing with a long-term injury "but I wouldn't anticipate him this week" at practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd suffered what's been described as a non-contact groin injury during Monday's practice, and while it appears he'll be sidelined until at least next week, it's a positive development to hear that the 2024 third-round pick has at least avoided a long-term issue. As a rookie, Lloyd was limited to one regular-season appearance due to a combination of hip, hamstring and ankle injuries, as well as appendicitis. As long as he can get healthy and then remain on the field, Lloyd will face a real opportunity in training camp to secure the No. 2 role behind workhorse Josh Jacobs, with Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as his competition.

Lloyd (groin) is not practicing Tuesday due to a soft-tissue injury sustained during Monday's session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd suffered what head coach Matt LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst now believe to have been a non-contact injury during Monday's training camp session, per Bill Huber of SI.com. The 2024 third-round pick's current groin issue is the latest in a series of unfortunate injuries, including hip, hamstring and ankle problems, in addition to appendicitis, which limited him to a single regular-season appearance as a rookie. Lloyd will work to get healthy in time for Green Bay's preseason opener Aug. 9 versus the Jets, and he still has over a month to get right before Week 1 at home against the Lions on Sept. 7.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the injury Lloyd (undisclosed) sustained at Monday's practice is still being evaluated but may have been non-contact, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd was initially reported to have been injured as the result of a hit from cornerback Nate Hobbs, but LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst now believe the injury occurred before contact, per Bill Huber of SI.com. Hamstring injuries, a severe ankle sprain and appendicitis limited the 2024 third-round pick to just one appearance during his rookie campaign, but Lloyd had been impressing the coaching staff early in training camp. If he's sidelined for long, it could pave the way for Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks to again work as the backups to Josh Jacobs.
