Packers face uncertainty at running back ahead of training camp
Summary

The Green Bay Packers begin training camp on July 29, 2026, with question marks surrounding their running back position. Josh Jacobs is dealing with off-the-field legal issues, raising doubts about his availability. MarShawn Lloyd's health remains uncertain as he has only appeared in one game over two seasons due to injury. The Packers will look to identify a reliable backup running back, likely between Lloyd and Chris Brooks, as they strive to improve after consecutive playoff exits. With the running back situation under scrutiny, the team may need to seek external help should legal or health issues persist.
