Rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd will be out of the lineup for the Packers' next four games.

It's been a frustrating start to the young career of Lloyd who has promising skills. After finally getting to see regular season action, Lloyd went out with an ankle injury. He missed time earlier this season with a hamstring injury and now he'll take several weeks to recover and get to full health. The Packers have signed Chris Brooks from the practice squad for more Josh Jacobs insurance.

Suffered ankle injury in Week 2 Packers are placing rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. (KPRC - Aaron Wilson) FF Today's Take: This is quickly turning into a lost season for Lloyd, who missed most of camp with a hamstring injury before making his NFL debut in Week 2. The rookie will be sidelined for at least four games, which may be enough time for Emanuel Wilson to stake his claim to the backup job for the rest of the season. If not, Chris Brooks has shown enough in limited NFL work to do so. Lloyd's IR stint should further solidify Josh Jacobs as a bellcow runner in Green Bay.
