Packers activate rookie RB off injured reserve, but for how long?

The Green Bay Packers activated rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd off injured reserve on Monday, but it’s unclear how long Lloyd will remain on the 53-man roster after he needed surgery for appendicitis last Friday.

The Packers had an open roster spot, so no corresponding move was required.

Lloyd, a third-round pick out of USC, originally went on injured reserve after injuring his ankle in Week 2. He was designated for return last Monday and looked on track to return to the roster ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Chicago Bears, but the internal issue kept Lloyd on injured reserve.
