Packers just avoided nightmare scenario with MarShawn Lloyd injury

The Green Bay Packers may be led by one of the best running backs in the league in Josh Jacobs, but Matt LaFleur has continued to add depth pieces in order to guard against a possible regression or injury from his starter.

With AJ Dillon officially cast off, the Packers are expecting bigger things from former third-round pick MarShawn Lloyd. After a fairly anonymous rookie season, Lloyd was out to prove that the Packers need to figure out some way to get him on the field irrespective of what Jacobs is doing.

Things got off to a scary start in training camp, as Lloyd suffered an abductor injury that could end up with him missing a good chunk of time in a worst-case scenario.
