MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Chris Brooks have had inconsistent performances this season, highlighted by frequent ball security issues. Brooks' injury has led to the promotion of Pierre Strong from the practice squad in hopes of providing stability. Johnson believes he has addressed his fumbling concerns and is eager for a larger role in the offense. The Packers' offensive line struggles have also contributed to the running backs' challenges this season.
