The Green Bay Packers will have to get by a little longer without one of their running backs.
MarShawn Lloyd has been out all season with a hamstring injury, and according to head coach Matt LaFleur, his return remains uncertain.
“I wouldn’t count on that any time soon,” LaFleur said.

The Packers placed Lloyd on injured reserve before the start of the season.
He’s dealt with multiple injuries during his two NFL seasons, including an appendectomy when he was a rookie.
Hamstring injuries are tricky and tend to linger, but it’s been more than two months since he was sidelined.
Yet, with the Packers’ backfield doing just fine, there’s no need to rush him back.
Josh Jacobs is one of the best three-down backs in the game, and Emmanuel Wilson has been a perfect complement for him this season.
The Packers also have Chris Brooks as a depth option, and he plays a handful of snaps each week.
The team also has been without defensive end Lukas Van Ness, who may return from a foot injury for its Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers.
In addition, kicker Brandon McManus continues to deal with a quad injury, but he was able to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
