MarShawn Lloyd Regains Top Spot in Green Bay's Backfield
MarShawn Lloyd has regained a prominent role in the Green Bay Packers' backfield after an early-season slump. Following Week 2 and 3 usage splits with Kaleb Johnson and Chris Brooks, Lloyd saw increased snaps (55% in Week 4, 44% in Week 5) and has delivered solid fantasy performances, including receiving work and short-yardage touchdowns. He is now considered a touchdown-dependent FLEX play

RB Chris Brooks out of practice, Packers sign Pierre Strong to 53-man roster
The Packers were missing a running back at Thursday’s practice and they signed another one to the active roster ahead of Sunday’s game against the Bears. Chris Brooks has missed both days this week with an ankle injury. The Packers signed Pierre Strong off of their practice squad and he joins Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd as backfield options. The Packers were also without guards Aaron Banks (knee, toe) and Jacob Monk (quad). Offensive lineman Jager Burton (back) was limited after sitting out on Wednesday. Offensive lineman Anthony Belton (knee), defensive tackle Anthony Campbell (ankle), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (shoulder), wide receiver Savion Williams (ankle), and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (ankle) were also limited participants. Cornerback Brandon Cisse (neck) was a full participant

Packers hold on for 17-14 win over Bucs
It wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win is a win, and the Packers will take it. Green Bay held off Tampa Bay and undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels 17-14. The Packers are 2-2, and the Bucs 0-4. The Bucs were playing without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, who will miss at least three games with a fractured right thumb. Daniels at least kept it interesting, though his two interceptions led to 10 Packers points. He completed 19 of 27 passes for 148 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. The Bucs reached the Green Bay 46 with 1:54 remaining before an incompletion, a sack, a 5-yard completion and another incompletion with Daniels under pressure on fourth-and-11. The Bucs had 275 yards, with Bucky Irving rushing for 61 yards on 16 carries. Sean Tucker scored on a 2-yard run. Jordan Love threw an interception with the Packers at the Tampa Bay 26, with safety Jacob Parrish picking the pass intended for Matthew Golden at the Tampa Bay 7. That gave the Bucs hope with 4:46 left, but the Packers defense gave up only 38 yards in 10 plays for the win. The Packers had 283 yards, with Love going 22-of-30 for 197 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He hit Golden for a 2-yard touchdown and Tucker Kraft for a 2-yard score. Christian Watson made three catches for 47 yards and Kaleb Johnson ran for 42 yards on eight carries. The Packers lost starting linebacker Edgerrin Cooper to an Achilles injury in the second half after he had a sack and an interception

They ended the half with a 58-yard Trey Smack field goal and opened the second half with an eight-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. The Packers lead the Bucs 17-7. Packers tight end Tucker Kraft scored on a 2-yard reception from Jordan Love with 10:32 remaining in the second quarter. Kraft has four catches for 32 yards, and Love is 13-of-18 for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Kaleb Johnson has six carries for 42 yards

Jordan Love: Packers' run game needs to improve
Packers quarterback Jordan Love passed for 312 yards while the running game gained 17 yards in Thursday night’s loss to the Falcons, and Love says that needs to change. The Packers’ two running backs, MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson, each got only four carries. Lloyd gained 11 yards and Johnson gained six yards. Love says that’s not enough. “Our run game’s got to improve. When you have a solid pass game and run game balancing each other, that always helps,” Love said. “Obviously, our run game, I don’t know how many rushes we had, but it’s something we need to improve on right there. I think that’ll help the pass game.” The Packers took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter and were tied 7-7 for most of the second quarter, but once they fell behind Love said it was harder to commit to the run. “We got behind tonight and it didn’t look good,” Love said. The Packers are hoping that their starting running back, Josh Jacobs, will play eventually this season. Jacobs is currently on paid leave and is likely to be suspended without pay after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property stemming from an incident involving his ex-girlfriend. Getting Jacobs back might help, but the Packers’ running woes appear to go deeper than the running back position. Green Bay’s offense needs to get better, and the Packers can’t afford to wait until Jacobs returns

Thursday Night Football: Falcons lead Packers 17-7 at halftime
Michael Penix is back . . . and so are the Falcons. The quarterback, who had played since Nov. 16, got off to a slow start. His third pass was an interception and he was only 5-of-11 to start. Penix, though, found his groove, finishing the first half 13-of-20 for 114 yards with a touchdown and an interception. His 5-yard touchdown throw to tight end Austin Hooper on third-and-goal with 59 seconds left in the half has the Falcons in the locker room with a 17-7 lead at halftime. The Falcons, who did not have a red zone snap in the first two games, are 2-for-2 in the red zone tonight. They scored on three of their last four possessions in the first half. Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has 15 carries for 111 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown run. He also has one catch for 17 yards. Drake London has five catches for 54 yards. The Falcons have outgained the Packers 253 to 108. Green Bay went three-and-out on four of six possessions in the first half, going 1-for-6 on third down with four punts. Green Bay kicker Trey Smack had his 47-yard field goal try blocked by Falcons defensive lineman Zach Harrison. Jordan Love is 9-of-19 for 96 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson. It is Watson’s fourth touchdown of the season. Matthew Golden has two catches for 53 yards. The Green Bay run game is nonexistent with five carries for 12 yards from MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson. The Packers have won 13 consecutive home openers at Lambeau Field

Packers beat Jets 20-17 in overtime
The Packers made a habit of giving up big leads over the course of a six-game losing streak, but they were on the other side of things against the Jets this Sunday. Jordan Love threw a touchdown to Christian Watson in the fourth quarter and came up with a couple of key completions in overtime to put the Packers in position for a 26-yard Trey Smack field goal. The rookie kicked it through and the Packers left MetLife Stadium with a 20-17 win. The Packers spotted the Jets a 17-7 lead, but scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to tie the game and send it to overtime. Two sacks helped the defense force a quick Jets punt and the Packers got the ball back on their own 34-yard-line. Kaleb Johnson picked up a first down with a long run and a pass to running back Chris Brooks went for 15 yards. A late hit on Brooks out of bounds handed the Packers 15 more yards and things were academic after another good gain on a pass to Matthew Golden. Love finished the day 16-of-29 for 145 yards, but finishing with a win was much more important for the Packers given the way last season ended and this one began. They lost wide receiver Jayden Reed, right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, and left guard Aaron Banks to injuries during the game, lost a fumble and committed 14 penalties for 133 yards, but they avoided the fatal mistakes that had swamped them in previous outings. The Jets have a long history of mystifying defeats as well and they did plenty to contribute to this one. They wound up with more penalty yards than the Packers and head coach Aaron Glenn made a baffling decision at the end of regulation. The Packers faced a fourth-and-5 near midfield after a completion to Christian Watson, but Glenn did not call timeout and the Packers took a delay of game penalty with 21 seconds left. A 10-second runoff was applied and the Packers wound up taking a timeout with two seconds left to try a Hail Mary and keep the ball out of the Jets’ hands. Glenn will also be asked about the decision to run out of the shotgun with Braelon Allen on a fourth-and-1 from the 50 after the two-minute warning because blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter would never have happened without that run of mistakes. The Jets will head to Detroit next week while the Packers will be hosting the Falcons on Thursday night
