Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd's Backflip Shows His Excitement as He Returns From Multiple Injuries

On Thursday, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd celebrated a practice touchdown with a backflip, prompting head coach Matt LaFleur to admonish him and forbid further flips.
A 2024 NFL draft pick, Lloyd appeared in only one game over his first two seasons after battling multiple hamstring strains, appendicitis, and ankle, calf, and groin injuries.
Quarterback Jordan Love called the backflip "dicey" due to injury risks, while general manager Brian Gutekunst praised Lloyd's ability to "turn heads" when healthy and practicing.
Lloyd is competing for a larger role behind Josh Jacobs after spending the offseason training in California to improve his health and performance following injury setbacks.
Feeling like "a kid in a candy store" after avoiding recent setbacks, Lloyd agreed to end the backflips to prioritize availability for The Packers this season.
