Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd missed practice Friday while being treated for appendicitis, dealing the team’s third-round pick another medical setback in a rookie season already filled with them.
“You can’t make this stuff up. Unfortunately, he had appendicitis,” LaFleur said Friday. “It’s a shame. He was making progress. But he’ll rebound, I’m confident in that, that’s what I told him. But it’s a shame, certainly.”
Lloyd injured his hip soon after reporting to training camp, suffered a hamstring injury during the Packers’ first preseason game and then injured his ankle in his NFL debut in Week 2.
