Packers Bet on MarShawn Lloyd’s 2026 Comeback

The Packers will keep rookie MarShawn Lloyd in their plans for 2026, after letting running back Emanuel Wilson depart and not picking up a replacement in the draft.

The Green Bay Packers have not replaced Emanuel Wilson in the 2026 draft and are keeping 2024 third‑round pick MarShawn Lloyd on their radar for a full‑season role in 2026. Running backs coach Ben Sirmans noted Lloyd’s improved lower‑body strength and expressed cautious optimism about his availability and contribution if healthy. amunra.qpon

With Wilson’s departure and no new draft investment, Lloyd’s spot on the 53‑man roster alongside Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks is open. The Packers are waiting to see if Lloyd can finally overcome his injury history and become a reliable backup option.
