The Green Bay Packers announced six players as inactive for Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The list includes rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd, who was questionable to play with a hamstring injury, and defensive end Arron Mosby, who didn’t travel with the team to Brazil due to a personal issue.
The Packers will have tight end Tucker Kraft (back) and running back Emanuel Wilson (hip) available. They were questionable to play with injuries. With Lloyd out, Wilson will operate as the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs.
Here are the six inactives for the Packers on Friday night:
WR Malik Heath
RB MarShawn Lloyd
DL Arron Mosby
DL Brenton Cox Jr.
T Kadeem Telfort
T Travis Glover
Lloyd was injured to start training camp and then suffered a hamstring injury on his lone carry of the preseason opener on Aug. 10. He missed the final two preseason games and over three weeks of practice, so the rookie probably isn’t ready for a big role behind Jacobs. The Packers elevated Ellis Merriweather from the practice squad to provide extra depth. Expect Jacobs to play the majority of the snaps vs. the Eagles.
Heath is the No. 6 wide receiver. Mosby and Cox Jr. are stuck behind Preston Smith, Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness and Kingsley Enagbare at defensive end. Telfort and Glover are both developing offensive linemen who represent the No. 9 and No. 10 spots at the position group. The Packers have Andre Dillard and rookies Jordan Morgan — assuming Sean Rhyan starts at right guard — and Jacob Monk as top backups along the offensive line.
