The Green Bay Packers have officially ruled out rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd and rookie linebacker Collin Oliver ahead of Sunday’s Week 7 matchup against the

Arizona Cardinals.

Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the update during Thursday’s press availability, saying both players are still progressing in their recoveries but won’t be ready to suit up this week.

Lloyd, who has been sidelined since the preseason with a hamstring injury, remains on injured reserve. Despite making progress in workouts, the team is taking a cautious approach to avoid setbacks. The 2024 third-round pick has battled multiple injuries since entering the league, limiting his opportunities to establish a consistent role in the offense.

Oliver, meanwhile, continues to recover from a hamstring injury suffered prior to training camp. The 2025 fifth-round selection out of Oklahoma State remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP)

list, with LaFleur describing his return as still “up in the air.”

With both players unavailable, the Packers will continue to rely on A.J. Dillon and Josh Jacobs in the backfield, while

Kingsley Enagbare and Quay Walker are expected to handle additional defensive responsibilities at linebacker.

The Packers (3–1–1) are riding a three-game unbeaten streak as they prepare to host the Cardinals (2–4) at

Lambeau Field on Sunday, October 19, with kickoff set for 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX.

Green Bay remains optimistic about both rookies’ long-term outlooks, but for now, their focus is on maintaining momentum without two of their promising young contributors.
