GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Just when he was about to return to the Green Bay Packers active roster, rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd was diagnosed with appendicitis and was expected to undergo an emergency appendectomy on Friday.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Lloyd contacted the Packers training staff about abdominal pain earlier in the day. The third-round pick has appeared in only one game this season as a backup -- against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, when he sustained an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve.
