NFL player. Position: RB. Team: GB.
Quick Facts
- Position: RB
- Team: GB (Green Bay Packers)
- Draft status: 3rd round, 2 years ago
2026 Outlook
Lloyd enters 2026 healthy after missing 35 of 36 possible games over his first two NFL seasons due to hamstring injuries and appendicitis. With Emanuel Wilson departed in free agency and Chris Brooks as the secondary option, Lloyd faces a genuine opportunity to contribute for the first time in his professional career. Coach Matt LaFleur's message is direct: prove it through consistent health and production. The question about Lloyd is durability rather than talent — two years of injuries have prevented him from validating the Packers' third-round investment, but the window to do so is now open if he can stay on the field (per Forgotten Packers offensive weapon is finally positioned to prove himself and timing could not be better for Green Bay).
Breakthrough 2026 OTA/Minicamp (June 12): After two consecutive injury-plagued offseasons, Lloyd participated fully in all nine OTA/minicamp practices without missing a day. This marks his first fully healthy offseason since entering the league and represents a significant confidence milestone. He worked extensively with tight end Tucker Kraft during the break, focusing on conditioning and body work. Lloyd called it "very rewarding" to complete an offseason unscathed, and privately trained with Dr. John Meyer (performance director for NBA's Clippers and NHL's Kings) between OTAs and minicamp to maximize his conditioning. If Lloyd maintains health through training camp, he could see significant opportunity in Year 3, potentially carrying the ball multiple times in Week 1 alone depending on Josh Jacobs' availability and performance.
