Packers place RB A.J. Dillon on season-ending IR

Pro Football Talk

Aug 27 · 4:42 PM EDT

Running back A.J. Dillon was placed on injured reserve and was not designated to return, meaning he is done for the year.

Dillon recently suffered another stinger and last week said he was awaiting test results. Head coach Matt LaFleur had said “absolutely there’s a concern” with Dillon’s injury, noting that Green Bay would proceed cautiously.

Fantasy Impact:

Dillon, 26, was expected to be the primary backup to running back Jacobs, and the team recently announced the rookie Lloyd will start the season on the PUP list and miss the first four games of the season at least. Wilson and Merriweather are now behind Jacobs, but it's possible the Packers will have to make a move at the position at least until Lloyd comes back.

Packers Beat: RB Marshawn Lloyd (hamstring) expected to start season on IR

Marshawn Lloyd is expected to start the season on IR -- they can do that now without missing 2024.

Related players: Josh Jacobs, A.J. Dillon

Fantasy Impact:

Lloyd is a rookie who injured his hamstring in the first preseason game. He was expected to slide right into the team's RB2 role behind Jacobs. But, that role looks like it now goes back to Dillon, who was unimpressive last year behind Aaron Jones. Lloyd will miss the first four games of the season.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd dealing with hamstring injury

Sources: Packers rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday afternoon.

Related players: Josh Jacobs, A.J. Dillon

Fantasy Impact:

The injury is not considered serious and he's expected to be fine for the season. However, we all know hamstring injuries can be tricky, so the team will be cautious with him, the post said. His time missed could set him back a bit on the depth chart, possibly making Dillon the RB2 to open the season behind Jacobs. Given Dillon's struggles last season, though, many feel Lloyd has a chance to earn the RB2 job at some point.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hip) to miss some time

Matt LaFleur said he didn't think rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd (hip) would be out too long. He said probably would miss the next couple of days.

Related players: Josh Jacobs, A.J. Dillon

Fantasy Impact:

Lloyd has impressed in spring and it appears he'll be the team's RB2 behind Jacobs once the season gets started. Dillon is likely the third option and while reports say he's in great shape, Lloyd looks like the back you want to own as a backup to Jacobs.
