News: 1 day agoPackers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Lloyd (hamstring) recently headed to the West Coast to continue his rehab program, but the running back is without a clear timeline to return from injured reserve, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Spin: LaFleur noted that Lloyd headed out West to "get his body right" and added that the "results were promising," but he didn't expand much further on the second-year running back's outlook. At this stage, Lloyd doesn't look to be especially close to practicing, making it likely that his absence extends into late November, if not December. A third-round draft pick in 2024, Lloyd has appeared in just one game thus far during his time with the Packers, as he missed the majority of his rookie season while recovering from hamstring and ankle injuries as well as an emergency appendectomy.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lloyd is entering his second NFL season after being limited to one game during his rookie season. The 2024 third-round pick produced 18 yards on seven touches while playing 10 snaps in Week 2. Ankle and hamstring injuries then knocked him out for a few months and appendicitis ended any chance of a return. The 24-year-old may be the future lead back in Green Bay, but he'll begin his second season on IR and will then battle for backup/change-of-pace duties behind feature back Josh Jacobs. The role is unlikely to lead to standalone value, but there's plenty of insurance appeal here in an offense that allowed Jacobs 337 touches (fifth most) last season. Lloyd is a fine add once healthy.
