MarShawn Lloyd struggles in Packers' Week 1 game against Vikings

MarShawn Lloyd, the Green Bay Packers' running back, struggled in his first extensive action during Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. He had 11 carries for 37 yards, with a long run of 12 yards early in the second half. Lloyd was also targeted once as a receiver but did not record a catch. Throughout the game, he shared snaps with Chris Brooks, indicating that Brooks may be a more reliable option in pass protection. Head coach Matt LaFleur is expected to assess Lloyd's performance before the Packers' Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets.
