Not in line for activation
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur implied Tuesday that Lloyd (calf/hamstring) won't be activated this week and will stay on injured reserve for the remainder of the season, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. "I'm not going to say no," LaFleur said, when asked about Lloyd potentially returning. "But I think you can use deductive reasoning on that one."
Analysis: The Packers placed Lloyd on IR with a designation to return in late August, after the 24-year-old running back sustained a hamstring injury during the preseason. Lloyd then suffered a calf injury while rehabbing his hamstring, but he made enough progress for the Packers to open up his 21-day practice window Dec. 1. After turning in five straight limited practices, Lloyd tweaked his hamstring again, resulting in him being held out of the Packers' most recent session last Friday. Though Lloyd's…read more

Dealing with another injury
Lloyd, who was already dealing with a calf issue, sustained a hamstring injury in practice leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Lloyd didn't practice Friday after picking up this hamstring injury and has already been ruled out for the Week 15 contest. He has one week remaining to be activated to the Packers' active roster before reverting to injured reserve for the remainder of the season, leaving his availability for the rest of the year in doubt. Lloyd, a 2024 third-round pick from USC, has played in just one game since entering the league due to a variety of injury problems. While he remains sidelined Sunday, Chris…read more

Not ready to return
Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Lloyd continues to progress in his recovery from a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve to open the season. He has been limited in practice since being designated to return from IR on Dec. 1 and is not quite ready to make his 2025 regular-season debut, which leaves Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as the top backfield depth options behind Josh Jacobs (knee). Lloyd's next opportunity to suit up is Week 16 against the Bears on Saturday, Dec. 20.

Another limited practice
Lloyd (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lloyd is in the midst of his second week of practicing with Green Bay after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Dec. 1. He's been a limited participant in each of Green Bay's ensuing five practices, and given that he's been on injured reserve all season, he may need to log multiple full sessions before getting cleared to make his 2025 debut. Whenever he's reinstated, Lloyd may not be in line for much of a role out of the Green Bay backfield, as Emanuel Wilson has proven to be a competent…read more

Remains limited in practice
Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lloyd has been a limited participant in each practice since the Packers designated him to return from injured reserve last week. He won't necessarily contribute this season even if deemed healthy enough to do so, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks appear to be trusted with backup roles behind Josh Jacobs.

Remains limited at practice
Lloyd (calf) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The Packers opened Lloyd's practice window to return from injured reserve Monday, and he so far has logged back-to-back capped practices as he attempts to put a calf injury behind him. The 2024 third-round pick has made just one appearance (Week 2 of last season) in his pro career due to a series of health concerns that kept him sidelined, but he now appears to be ramping up toward his first game action of the current campaign.

Limited in return to practice
Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: This marks Lloyd's first official practice of the 2025 regular season, as he's been on injured reserve since cut-down day in late August with what before Wednesday was deemed a hamstring issue. A calf injury was listed as the reason for his restrictions to begin Week 14 prep, and he'll now have two more sessions to prove his health before the Packers potentially give him a chance to make his season debut Sunday against the Bears.

Has practice window opened
The Packers opened Lloyd's (hamstring) 21-day window in which to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lloyd came out of preseason Week 2 in mid-August with hamstring tightness, and when the Packers placed him on IR on cut-down day, they designated him for return at that point, meaning his season debut wouldn't take place until at least Week 6 of the regular season. More than three months later, he's made notable enough progress in his recovery effort, which included a visit to the West Coast about one month ago, to get back on the practice field in an official capacity.

Return possible this season
Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans said Thursday that he believes Lloyd (hamstring) will play this season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Since the Packers drafted him in the third round of the 2024 Draft, Lloyd has made just one appearance as a pro due to a cascade of health concerns, including a hamstring injury that so far his delayed his 2025 debut.

Ramping up rehab
Lloyd (hamstring) is making good progress in his rehab, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While he's 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 isn't able to participate in official practices until the Packers open his practice window, but with Josh Jacobs suffering a knee injury this week, even more attention will be on Lloyd's recovery.

Improving, but return date TBD
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.
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…read more

Still far from return to practice
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.
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.

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.
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.

On IR, designated to return
The Packers placed Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Lloyd emerged from Green Bay's second preseason contest with hamstring tightness, marking yet another health concern for the 2024 third-round pick. In fact, he's made only one appearance in his career to date and won't be eligible to suit up until at least Week 5 versus the Bengals. The Packers will kick off the campaign with Josh Jacobs leading the backfield, and Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks backing him up.

Will miss time with hamstring issue
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.
Analysis: Lloyd did not return to Saturday's contest 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.

Nursing hamstring tightness
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.
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.

Big gain on one catch in win
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.
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.

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.

Analysis: Lloyd may be putting himself in a position for his regular-season debut after logging three consecutive capped sessions during Week 2 preparations. He's been dealing with a hamstring issue since Green Bay's preseason opener on Aug. 10, so he's a bit more than a month removed from the initial injury. If Lloyd is able to suit up this weekend, he'll be playing second fiddle, at best, out of the backfield with Josh Jacobs (back) getting the all-clear for Sunday on Friday's practice report.

Lloyd missed the season opener but could return for Week 2 or 3, at which point he would likely be joining an offense with Malik Wills under center instead of Jordan Love (knee). It's unclear if Lloyd will start off as the No. 3 running back or jump in ahead of Week 1 backup Emanuel Wilson, who made the most of his limited…read more

Sitting out Friday
Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as inactive Friday against the Eagles in Brazil, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Lloyd exited the Packers' preseason opener Aug. 10 at Cleveland due to a hamstring injury, which contained the rookie third-rounder to one limited practice (Thursday) during Week 1 prep. The lack of activity wasn't enough for him to make his NFL debut, leaving Emanuel Wilson (hip) and practice-squad elevation Ellis Merriweather as the available running backs behind starter Josh Jacobs. Lloyd will turn his focus to getting healthy for a Week 2 matchup with the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Questionable for Friday
Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Eagles in Brazil, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: A hamstring injury has plagued Lloyd since Aug. 10 and followed the rookie third-round pick into Week 1 prep, which kept him off the practice field Tuesday but didn't stop him from logging a limited session Thursday. Fellow RB Emanuel Wilson (hip) also had a cap on his reps all week and heads into Friday's contest listed as questionable, placing a cloud over who among the duo will be the No. 2 back behind starter Josh Jacobs in the wake of AJ Dillon's season-ending stinger.

Gauged as limited participant
Lloyd (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: The Packers didn't hold a formal practice Wednesday while traveling to Brazil in advance of Friday's game against the Eagles, but Lloyd's limited listing represents a step forward after he was a non-participant in Tuesday's session. Lloyd was sidelined for most of August with the hamstring injury, so even if he does get cleared to make his NFL debut Friday, the rookie could still find himself third in line for snaps out of the backfield behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson (hip).

Misses practice, but no setbacks
Lloyd (hamstring) did not practice Tuesday, but according to coach Matt LaFleur he hasn't suffered any setbacks in his recovery, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: LaFleur said Lloyd, who had logged back-to-back limited practices, "has had two good days," and that his absence Tuesday is "just part of the process." Nonetheless, it's not an ideal development for the rookie third-round pick, who missed much of training camp after injuring his hamstring in Green Bay's preseason opener Aug. 10. Thursday's final official practice report of Week 1 will clarify Lloyd's chances of suiting up Friday in Brazil against Philadelphia.

Practices in limited fashion Sunday
Lloyd (hamstring) was limited during Sunday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Lloyd practiced for the first time since he injured his hamstring during the Packers' preseason opener Aug. 10, the rookie running back's activity was capped in his return. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur indicated after the session that the team will be "smart" with Lloyd as he works his way back from the injury. It's not yet clear if Lloyd will be available for the Packers' Week 1 contest in Brazil against Philadelphia on Friday.

Returns to practice Sunday
Lloyd (hamstring) participated in practice Sunday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Sunday marked the first time Lloyd has suited up for practice since he injured his hamstring in Green Bay's preseason opener against Cleveland on Aug. 10. It appears the rookie running back has a good chance of being available for the Packers' regular-season opener in Brazil against the Eagles on Friday after it initially seemed like he could be destined to begin the campaign on injured reserve. Lloyd's presence in the Packers backfield could be especially important with AJ Dillon (neck) on…read more

Avoids IR, unlike AJ Dillon
Lloyd (hamstring) is on Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, while fellow running back AJ Dillon (neck) has been placed on season-ending injured reserve, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It wasn't too long ago that Lloyd seemed in danger of starting the season on IR -- albeit with a return designation -- while Dillon was in excellent shape to take the No. 2 RB role. Dillon's second stinger of the 2024 calendar year changed that, and the decision to keep Lloyd on the 53-man roster suggests the Packers expect him to be ready at some point in September. The rookie third-round pick missed most of training camp and the preseason due to hip and hamstring injuries, with the latter…read more

Not practicing
Lloyd (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur declined to give a timeline for the rookie's return or provide details, merely informing reporters that Lloyd won't practice Tuesday after injuring his hamstring during Saturday's preseason game against Cleveland. The running back told reporters after the game that he'd pushed through a hamstring injury earlier in training camp, which is perhaps surprising given that his previous absences from practice (in late July) were attributed to a hip injury. Details aside, the…read more

Picks up hamstring injury
Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's preseason game in Cleveland.
Analysis: Lloyd was the fourth Packers running back to get a touch in the team's exhibition opener behind Josh Jacobs, AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson. Prior to his departure in the third quarter, Lloyd had one carry for eight yards and caught his only target for one yard. If he's unable to return Saturday, his next chance for game action will arrive Sunday, Aug., 18 at Denver.

Making case to usurp Dillon?
Lloyd was impressive during Thursday's practice and may have the necessary skills to replace AJ Dillon as Green Bay's No. 2 running back, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
Analysis: Lloyd is undoubtedly faster and shiftier than the 247-pound Dillon, who struggled in 2023 but then re-signed with Green Bay in the offseason and earned praise from coach Matt LaFleur for reporting to training camp in "the best shape I've seen him, hands down." As a third-round pick, Lloyd certainly is expected to be more than a No. 3 RB at some point, but there's risk of a slower-than-usual learning curve even if he looks good this summer, in part because he fumbled 10 times on 325 touches in…read more

Goes through team drills
Lloyd (hip) took part in team drills Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: After missing the early portion of training camp, Lloyd returned to individual drills Tuesday and then progressed to team work Wednesday. He'll start off fairly low on Green Bay's backfield depth chart, but the rookie third-round pick may get a chance to push AJ Dillon for the No. 2 role behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Set for individual work Tuesday
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Lloyd (hip) will participate in individual drills during Tuesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lloyd has yet to take part in team work during training camp while he manages a hip issue, but his return to individual drills offers hope that he'll soon be back on the field as a full participant. The 2024 third-round pick out of USC will likely head into the Packers' Aug. 10 preseason opener versus the Browns third on the depth chart at running back behind Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon. However, given his superior explosiveness as well as the draft capital invested in him, Lloyd has a good…read more

Shouldn't be sidelined long
Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Lloyd (hip) will probably miss a few days of practice but shouldn't be absent long, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Lloyd is dealing with a hip injury to begin training camp, but it sounds like the issue is only minor. The 2024 third-round pick appears well positioned to carve out a role behind Josh Jacobs early in his career, but he'll need to get back on the field and establish himself above AJ Dillon on the depth chart. Lloyd's explosiveness and versatility give him a clear path to a significant role, but he also brings ball-security concerns from his time at USC (11 fumbles on 325 touches).

Not practicing to start camp
Lloyd isn't practicing Monday due to a hip injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's a suboptimal start to training camp for a rookie hoping to push AJ Dillon for backup work behind Josh Jacobs. While his 220-pound frame and 4.46 speed hint at lead-back potential, Lloyd could be brought along more slowly than a typical third-round pick after fumbling 11 times on 325 touches during his college career.
