Here’s where the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster stands right now and the options that the team has at the running back position in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Packers Running Back Depth Chart Josh Jacobs Chris Brooks MarShawn Lloyd Pierre Strong Jr. Damien Martinez Outside of losing Emanuel Wilson to the Seattle Seahawks, the Packers return their 2025 running back room for the 2026 season. While there wasn’t a big difference between the production of Wilson or Chris Brooks behind Josh Jacobs last season, from an efficiency perspective, Green Bay hasn’t given Brooks the bulk of carries that Wilson has received in the past.

For the most part, Brooks has been a pseudo fullback, a blocker who significantly contributes on special teams, as a run blocker in two-back looks and as a third-down pass protector. The elephant in the room is the questions surrounding MarShawn Lloyd, who was taken in the third round of the 2024 draft. Since his selection, he’s only been able to play for one (1) NFL game due to a string of injuries.

Will the Packers ever get anything out of Lloyd? Can they count on him making the roster in 2026? These questions are still up in the air.
