Lloyd projects as the Packers\u2019 most explosive runner and is arguably the most talented option behind Josh Jacobs \u2014 he of the uncertain legal situation \u2014 but we haven\u2019t been able to see that in real game action to this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Given Lloyd\u2019s injury history and a lack of proven depth behind him (Chris Brooks is still clearly best cast as a change-of-pace and third down back), the Packers will surely look to make an addition at some point this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Still, OTAs brought some good news with them, particularly in the form of reps with the starters for a couple of rookies. The team\u2019s top two draft picks got some run with the ones this week, a good sign that the team plans on bringing them along quickly in the hopes that they can contribute in their first season. Keep a closer eye on those two players as OTAs continue on throughout the next few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One way or another, the Green Bay Packers need to get something substantial from MarShawn Lloyd in 2026.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":904627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[52136,7,2702,6],"class_list":["post-904626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-cheese-curds-daily-green-bay-packers-news-and-links","tag-football","tag-green-bay-packers-news","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116659362437509517","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=904626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/904626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/904627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=904626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=904626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=904626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
