2 weeks ago

Green Bay Packers 3rd round rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd is headed to the Injured Reserve.

Green Bay Packers rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd got his first taste of the NFL in week two.  During the game Lloyd suffered an injury to his ankle.  He did not return to the game.  This injury now lands Lloyd on the IR.  He will miss a minimum of 4 week.  Lloyd was already coming back from a hamstring injury, which made him miss week 1 now he’ll miss 4 more games.

 

In the game verse the Colts Lloyd played 14% of snaps and carried the ball 6 times for only 15 yards.  He was inefficient during his NFL debut, but now will have to wait another 4 weeks to return to action.

 

Following the news Packers have signed Chris Brooks from the practice squad.  He will serve as the third RB for the Packers behind heavy work horse Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson.  For fantasy he can be drop or placed into the IR spot if available.
