Lloyd (appendix) was moved from the reserve/non-football illness list to injured reserve Friday, a move that was precipitated by the running back aggravating a hamstring injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Lloyd had a trying rookie campaign, to say the least. He opened training camp by suffering a hip injury, missing five days of practice. He was able to play in the preseason opener against the Browns, but he injured his left hamstring in that contest and was sidelined for the rest of camp and exhibition season. Lloyd made his debut Week 2 versus the Colts, but he sustained a severe ankle sprain that forced a seven-week stint on IR. Green Bay designated him for return on Nov. 11, but four days later, he was diagnosed with appendicitis and landed on the reserve/NFI list. While he's made a full recovery from his appendectomy, Lloyd posted on social media Sunday that he was turning his focus toward getting healthy for next season. The recent move to IR implied that Lloyd's season was over, and with the running back confirming as much, he'll finish with six carries for 15 yards and one catch (on one target) for three yards in his sole appearance. Lloyd and workhorse Josh Jacobs are the only Packers running backs officially under contract in 2025, but Emanuel Wilson is an exclusive rights free agent and Chris Brooks is a restricted free agent, so both players likely will be retained this offseason.

Lloyd (appendix) was moved from the reserve/non-football illness list to injured reserve Friday, a move that was precipitated by the running back aggravating a hamstring injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

While he's made a full recovery from his appendectomy, Lloyd posted on social media Sunday that he was turning his focus toward getting healthy for next season. The recent move to IR implied that Lloyd's season was over, and with the running back confirming as much, he'll finish with six carries for 15 yards and one catch (on one target) for three yards in his sole appearance. Lloyd and workhorse Josh Jacobs are the only Packers running backs officially under contract in 2025, but Emanuel Wilson is an exclusive rights free agent and Chris Brooks is a restricted free agent, so both players likely will be retained this offseason.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that he hasn't "shut the door" on the idea of Lloyd (appendix) playing again this season, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. "I never want to shut the door on that," said LaFleur. [Lloyd]'s just gonna focus on continuing to get better and when he can go, he'll go." Lloyd had an appendectomy in mid-November, right when he appeared ready to return from a two-month stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. The Packers had to activate him from IR and place him on the non-football injury list to keep him eligible for a return this season -- a move that won't happen for Week 16 but apparently hasn't been ruled out for the very end of the regular season and/or the playoffs.
The Packers placed Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) on the non-football illness list Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Green Bay designated Lloyd for return from injured reserve last Wednesday, opening a 21-day window in which to get him back on the active roster for the first time since he sprained his ankle Week 2 against the Colts. Only two days later, though, he felt pain in his side and then was diagnosed with appendicitis. The Packers activated him from IR on Monday with the anticipation that they would place him on a different reserve list in the near future, which now has come to pass. This move allows the team to get the rookie third-round pick back later this season once he completes his recovery, but in the meantime Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks will continue to earn the backfield reps that don't go to starter Josh Jacobs on game days.
The Packers reinstated Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) from injured reserve Monday. Though Lloyd will temporarily get added back on the 53-man roster, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic relays that the rookie running back will likely be returned to IR or another reserve list after he required an emergency appendectomy Friday. Lloyd had missed the Packers' final seven games before a Week 10 bye due to a high-ankle sprain, but he had his 21-day evaluation window opened last Monday. However, Lloyd was a limited participant in just two practices on account of the ankle sprain as well as a hamstring injury before he reported abdominal pain and was diagnosed with appendicitis. Assuming he's eventually placed back on a reserve list, Lloyd would have to miss at least another four games, but he would still be eligible for activation again beginning in Week 16.
Lloyd (ankle) missed Friday's practice due to appendicitis and won't be available for Sunday's game at Chicago, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. The Packers designated Lloyd on Monday to return from injured reserve, subsequently listing him as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to ankle and hamstring injuries. It seems the newly reported hamstring injury isn't serious and wouldn't have prevented him from playing this week, but Lloyd now has an entirely different issue to deal with, after missing the past seven games with a high-ankle sprain. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that the team will talk to the league about a possible extension/exception for the 21-day window when a player is designated to return from IR, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Reading between the lines, Lloyd is expected to miss at least two or three more weeks while recovering from surgery to address the appendicitis.
Lloyd (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. After being designated for return from injured reserve earlier this week, Lloyd has gone down as a limited participant in both of the Packers' first two official practices coming out of a Week 10 bye. The rookie was previously placed on IR on Sept. 17 due to a high-ankle sprain, and though Lloyd is also being listed with a hamstring issue on Green Bay's injury report, head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that a scan on Lloyd's hamstring came back clean, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. At this stage, a decision on whether Lloyd is activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears may hinge on how he looks from a conditioning standpoint in practice after having not played since Week 2. The Packers have Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks on hand as capable depth options behind lead back Josh Jacobs (quadricep), so the team may not have a pressing need to bring back Lloyd this week.
Lloyd practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to ankle and hamstring injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. The Packers designated Lloyd for return from injured reserve Monday, and in his first session since Week 2 prep, he showed up not only with an ankle issue but another health concern as well. The former is the high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him the last seven games, while the latter is a new injury. Green Bay's top running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) also was limited Wednesday, leaving question marks in the team's backfield ahead of Sunday's game in Chicago.
Lloyd (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. The Packers designated Lloyd to return from injured reserve Monday, opening a 21-day window in which he can practice without being placed on the active roster. It's unclear at this point if he'll be activated before Sunday's game against the Bears or if he'll leapfrog fellow running backs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks on the depth chart.
The Packers designated Lloyd (ankle) for return from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. As the Packers returned from their bye week, they appear poised to get back the rookie third-round pick for the first time since he suffered a sprained ankle during a Week 2 win against the Colts. The team's top running back Josh Jacobs seemed to intimate as much earlier Monday, telling Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, "I'm excited to see him go this week." Emanuel Wilson and recently Chris Brooks have been spelling Jacobs out of the backfield, but Lloyd could soon join them if he shows well enough in practice this week.
