Packers Open 21-Day Return Windows for MarShawn Lloyd and Brenton Cox Jr.

The move positions Green Bay to evaluate depth during its push for the NFC North.

Overview

  • The Packers designated RB MarShawn Lloyd and DE Brenton Cox Jr. to return from injured reserve, beginning 21-day practice windows on December 1.
  • The team’s transaction wire confirmed the designations, which were also reported by Tom Pelissero and Matt Schneidman.
  • Lloyd has appeared in just 10 NFL snaps since being drafted in 2024 after a series of injuries, including hip, ankle, groin and hamstring setbacks.
  • Cox left Week 1 after eight snaps with a groin injury following a 2024 season in which he notched four sacks as a rotational edge rusher.
  • Green Bay is 8-3 ahead of a divisional matchup with the Bears, and Lloyd’s availability could help reduce Josh Jacobs’ workload if coaches deem him ready.
