MarShawn Lloyd

Matt LaFleur told reporters “We’ll see” about MarShawn Lloyd returning to practice in Week 8.

Lloyd currently resides on injured reserve and is eligible to resume practicing as of today, however, the team has yet to activate his 21-day practice window. LaFleur initially told reporters, he thinks Lloyd is “getting closer” to a return before fielding the Week 8 inquiry. Fellow backup Emanuel Wilson has used Lloyd’s time on injured reserve to sew up the No. 2 RB role, efficiently averaging 5.0 YPC on 42 rushing attempts.
