News: 4 days agoLloyd (hamstring) isn't practicing Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Spin: 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 mounting missed time this summer will only make it more difficult for Lloyd to earn a significant role early in the season, potentially opening the door for Emanuel Wilson to get snaps behind Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lloyd joins the Packers after being drafted in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft. Lloyd is a big-play threat from USC, who averaged 7.1 yards per carry for the Trojans last season. The Packers let Aaron Jones walk this offseason and AJ Dillon's only on a one-year deal, so Lloyd could be the backup of the future behind Josh Jacobs. As it stands, Lloyd is an explosive and talented rookie, but he likely won't get enough touches for fantasy relevance in 2024.
