Packers’ Second-Year Safety Could Miss Rest of Season After Hamstring Injury in Preseason Clash vs. Colts

Indianapolis, IN – August 17, 2025 — Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd suffered yet another setback in Saturday’s preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, leaving early in the second quarter with a hamstring injury that now threatens to sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Lloyd had just returned to action after missing time with a groin injury and showed flashes of his big-play potential. He recorded six carries for 15 yards and a 33-yard reception after beating linebacker Austin Ajake in coverage. But the play ended awkwardly, with Lloyd stumbling as he reached for the ball and taking a low-high tackle that bent his leg unnaturally. He immediately reported tightness in his hamstring and did not return.

Head coach Matt LaFleur admitted after the game that the team fears the worst.

“We’ll see. It’s tough because MarShawn has worked so hard to get back, and setbacks like this are never easy. With the injuries he’s dealt with before, there’s even a chance he could miss the rest of the season — but right now the focus is on evaluating him and making sure we get him healthy for the long run.”

For Lloyd, it’s another cruel twist. The second-year back missed seven practices and the preseason opener with a groin injury, and as a rookie, he was limited to just one game after battling multiple hamstring issues, an ankle sprain, and even an appendicitis.

Green Bay hoped Lloyd would push for a depth role behind Josh Jacobs this season, but with his health once again in question, the Packers may be forced to rethink their plans in the backfield.

As roster cuts approach, Lloyd’s status will remain one of the biggest storylines in Green Bay — and his promising career now hangs in the balance.

Packers Rookie Cornerback Gets a Fan Meeting Organized by His Mother Despite Not Having Played a Single Game for the Team
GREEN BAY — On Sunday night, a community center near Lambeau filled up with green and gold. No sponsor banners—just a small stage, a few rows of folding chairs, an autograph table, and a long line of No. 26 jerseys waiting for signatures. The person who arranged everything was the mother of Micah Robinson—the Green Bay Packers’ rookie cornerback, a 2025 seventh-round pick at No. 237. “You may not have seen him on TV yet, but I’ve watched him for 23 years,” she said, clutching the game jersey. “My son is this team’s HIDDEN GEM. He deserves a chance—and when it comes, he’ll grab it with both hands.” The fan meeting lasted a bit over an hour: photos, jersey signings, and a short Q&A. On the display table were a few college mementos—a photo of Robinson from his transfer from Furman to Tulane, a notebook full of film-study notes, and a faded wristband from his Second-team All-AAC 2024 season. A team media staffer  offered a brief comment after the event: “We appreciate the family’s support. Personnel decisions are based on tactical needs and practice performance—and Micah is trending in the right direction.” On social media, some argued that holding a fan meeting when a player hasn’t logged meaningful snaps is “a little early.” But his mother smiled and answered right into the mic: “I’m not here to ‘demand a spot’ for my son. I’m here to remind him—and everyone—that dreams don’t wait until you’re called on television. Dreams begin the day you dare to believe you’re good enough.” Robinson offered just one line before slipping backstage: “I’ll let the work speak for itself.” Quick scouting note: Robinson brings a “speed + discipline” CB profile: a 4.42-second 40-yard at pro day; over his last three NCAA seasons he recorded 7 INT and 13 PD, showing ball skills and strong zone reactions. He fits special teams/CB depth right away and could crack sub-packages if he keeps stacking standout practices.
