MarShawn Lloyd

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 2 against the Colts.

Lloyd missed Week 1 with the hamstring issue he suffered in training camp. He returned to practice before Week 1 but the Packers held him out, likely to give him a chance to fully heal before returning to action. A third-round rookie, Lloyd should step in as Josh Jacobs’ backup for his first NFL game. With Malik Willis under center, the Packers should be expected to run the ball early and often versus the Colts. Lloyd should see a handful of carries because of the run-heavy game plan.
