So much for the three-headed monster of Josh Jacobs, AJ Dillon and MarShawn Lloyd. The Packers’ backfield is a big question mark entering Week 1 against the Eagles.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – After a short vacation following the end of the preseason, the Green Bay Packers got back to work on Wednesday. Based on warmups – the only portion of practice reporters were allowed to watch – only one player was not going to participate.
Even with a healthy Dillon, the Packers had high hopes for Lloyd as an explosive change-of-pace back. Instead, he missed the start of training camp with a hip injury and the end of training camp with a hamstring injury. His preseason consisted of two touches. “It’s been rough, definitely rough,” he said. “I love this game. But it’s minor little things, minor injuries. I just know once I get past this little hump, it’s go time. So, just do the right things, take care of my body as much as possible, learning, getting some stuff from the older guys as far as how they treat their bodies and stuff like that.”
“I thought all those guys ran extremely hard in that final preseason game and put some good stuff out there for everybody to see,” LaFleur said.
