MarShawn Lloyd finds finish zone for first time in three years

Packers working again MarShawn Lloyd entered the NFL as a third-round decide in 2024. Injuries (and a bout of appendicitis) have restricted him to at least one regular-season look by way of two seasons.

On Friday night time, he scored a touchdown for the primary time since 2023, his last season of school soccer, at USC.

The rating got here on an 11-yard catch from quarterback Jordan Love. Lloyd added six carries for 17 yards in 16 performs.

“It was special, it was fun,” Lloyd stated. “It was definitely fun. It had been three years since I even touched the end zone. I’ve been in the end zone in practice, but in the game it’s different. It was fun, you know. They had their starters out there, so it was fun to get those good reps, just good reps. I enjoyed it.”

Coach Matt LaFleur praised Lloyd for his work in his second preseason begin of 2026, as he builds towards Week 1.

“I thought he had a really good performance and certainly don’t want to put him in a position where you’re going backwards,” LaFleur stated. “I thought he went out there and he competed and made a big play on that choice route, and Jordan threw a great ball, and it was a good night for him.”

Lloyd might have damaged inside or outdoors on the route. He opted to chop towards the center of the sphere, the place Love discovered him vast open for the landing.

Currently listed at third on the depth chart behind Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks, Lloyd’s preseason work might earn him significant possibilities as soon as the common season rolls round.
