The Green Bay Packers have placed rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd on the non-football illness list due to appendicitis, as reported by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. This move allows the Packers to temporarily fill his roster spot while retaining the option to reinstate him later in the season.
Lloyd, a 2024 third-round draft pick, had only recently been activated from injured reserve on Monday. However, head coach Matt LaFleur revealed last Friday that Lloyd was dealing with appendicitis, forcing the promising rookie to the sidelines indefinitely. Lloyd had already been recovering from an ankle injury sustained in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts.
