- Green Bay Packers Announce Return of Rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd for 2025 Season
The Green Bay Packers have officially announced that rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd will return to play for the 2025 season after recovering from injury.
Lloyd, a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, had been placed on the reserve/non-football illness list earlier this year, followed by a stint on injured reserve. The team has now cleared him to return, marking a significant step forward in his young career.
Known for his explosiveness and versatility during his collegiate career, Lloyd was drafted to add depth and playmaking ability to the Packers’ backfield. His return comes at a crucial time as the team prepares for the upcoming season with high hopes for his contributions to their offense.
“We’re thrilled to have MarShawn back,” said Head Coach Matt LaFleur. “He’s worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and we’re excited to see him bring his talents to the field. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.”
Lloyd’s return bolsters a Packers backfield already led by veterans Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. With his speed and agility, Lloyd is expected to provide an additional dynamic to the team’s running game and potentially contribute on special teams as well.
The Packers and their fans are eager to see Lloyd make his NFL debut as the team looks to build momentum heading into the 2025 season. With his return, Green Bay hopes to strengthen their offensive versatility and continue their pursuit of success in the highly competitive NFC.
