Lloyd (hamstring) is making good progress in his rehab, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he is still on injured reserve, Lloyd was seen off to the side at practice working up a sweat, signaling that his window of return may be close. The 24-year-old has still not been seen participating in official practices, but with Josh Jacobs suffering a knee injury this week, even more attention will be on Lloyd's recovery.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Lloyd (hamstring) recently headed to the West Coast to continue his rehab program, but the running back is without a clear timeline to return from injured reserve, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaFleur noted that Lloyd headed out West to "get his body right" and added that the "results were promising," but he didn't expand much further on the second-year running back's outlook. At this stage, Lloyd doesn't look to be especially close to practicing, making it likely that his absence extends into late November, if not December. A third-round draft pick in 2024, Lloyd has appeared in just one game thus far during his time with the Packers, as he missed the majority of his rookie season while recovering from hamstring and ankle injuries as well as an emergency appendectomy.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Lloyd (hamstring), who remains on IR, is not nearing a return to practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd has spent the entire regular season on IR due to a hamstring injury. LaFleur offered optimism about the second-year pro's progression toward the practice field in mid-October, but it seems things have since changed. It's possible that Lloyd, who has dealt with consistent injury issues since being selected by Green Bay in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has suffered a setback in his recovery. In any case, Emanuel Wilson has entrenched himself as the No. 2 option behind Josh Jacobs in the Packers' backfield, so if Lloyd does return to action this season, he'll likely compete with Chris Brooks for the No. 3 role.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Lloyd (hamstring), who remains on IR, is getting closer to a return to practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.comg reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lloyd began the regular season on IR and has already missed more than the requisite minimum four contests, so he's eligible to be designated for a return to practice at any point, once Green Bay deems in healthy enough. Once that transaction is submitted, Lloyd will have a 21-day window wherein he can be evaluated at practice without counting against the active roster. The second-year pro will be positioned for a reserve role behind lead back Josh Jacobs once back in action, but Lloyd's early-season absence has allowed both Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks to further establish themselves as reserve backfield options.

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.
