The Packers chose not to pick up a running back in the 2026 draft, hinting that they still believe in rookie MarShawn Lloyd’s upside. Coach Ben Sirmans praised Lloyd’s physical improvement and expressed cautious optimism about his readiness for a full season if healthy. With Wilson gone to Seattle, Lloyd could slot in as a top backup behind Josh Jacobs, while Chris Brooks has earned a larger role. Lloyd’s talent is clear, but his availability has been limited by hip, hamstring, ankle and other injuries. The team is waiting to see if he can finally stay healthy and make an impact during the 2026 campaign. argolida.life
