With Dillon out with a neck injury, Packers running into the game day room, shortstop in home Josh Jacobs, third rounder MarShawn Lloyd — who has battled hamstring and groin issues this summer — and Emanuel Wilson. The team also parted ways with linebackers Ellis Merriweather and Nate McCrary.
Jacobs was a great free agent acquisition for the team, Lloyd shows a lot of promise and Wilson performed well in the preseason. However, it wouldn't be out of the question for the Packers to add another one or two this week.
The bruising Dillon recorded 613 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 15 games last season. However, he did not play in the Packers' regular season finale or playoff games after suffering a neck injection in Week 17. He was thought unlikely to return to the Packers, but Green Bay used a rare four-year qualifying offer on Dillon to keep him.
However, Dillon's future beyond this season appears to be in jeopardy considering the 26- year neck injury.
