An injury-filled summer will likely end in Green Bay Packers rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd starting the 2024 season on injured reserve. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the “expectation” is Lloyd — who is dealing with a hamstring injury — will go on injured reserve as part of the Packers’ reduction to 53 players on Tuesday.
Under new NFL rules, teams are allowed to place two players on injured reserve during final cuts, but those players are allowed to return are missing a minimum of four weeks. Under old rules, any player placed on injured reserve before first making the 53-man roster would miss the entire season.
