Packers ‘very optimistic’ MarShawn Lloyd can stay healthy, provide spark Running backs coach Ben Sirmans believes the Packers have enough options on the roster to be Josh Jacobs’ primary backup this season, even after the team let Emanuel Wilson leave in free agency .

There’s one option he’s particularly interested in seeing. “Obviously we all know who we’re waiting,” Sirmans said. “Is it time?

” The Packers are in their third season of waiting for 2024 third-round draft pick MarShawn Lloyd to stay on the field. He’s never been consistently healthy, playing only 10 snaps in his first two years. “He did something that he hasn’t done before working with a [training] group,” Sirmans said, “which was his first time in the offseason working with a group.
