Green Bay Packers backfield overview
If Kaleb Johnson misses time
MarShawn Lloyd is listed RB2 on the Green Bay Packers depth chart behind Kaleb Johnson. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Josh Jacobs: Out (espn_rosters) Pierre Strong Jr.: Questionable (espn_rosters)
Won the starting job with Jacobs on the exempt list and led the room in carries in Week 1 vs. MIN (13 for 37 yards), but played 30 snaps to Chris Brooks' 37 and does not hold passing downs. Real early-down talent inside a live committee; the availability record remains the central risk.
