GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers placed running back MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve and promoted running back Chris Brooks to the 53-man roster on Tuesday.
Going on IR is the latest setback in a disappointing start to Lloyd’s career.
A third-round pick following a big-play final season at USC, the ankle injury sustained during Sunday’s victory over the Indianapolis Colts marked the third separate injury that’s knocked him to the sideline.
After an impressive offseason, Lloyd and the rest of the rookies arrived for training camp a few days ahead of the veterans.
