Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers made the surprising decision to add Marshawn Lloyd to their 53-man roster. Prior to their dramatic win over the Chicago Bears, the Packers had opened up Lloyd\u2019s practice window after he had been out since Week Two with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

The roster move came as a surprise, however, because the rookie running back had to have emergency surgery to remove his appendix over the weekend.<\/p>\n

While there was nothing that could have prevented Lloyd from needing his appendix removed, Green Bay was in a tough situation because they had already opened his 21-day practice window. They simply could not put him back on injured reserve without ending his season.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, they found a creative solution.<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers Placed Marshawn Lloyd on the Non-Football Injury List<\/h2>\n

Instead of putting their rookie running back on season-ending injured reserve, the Packers added him to the 53-man roster, as was mentioned previously.<\/p>\n

By doing so, Green Bay was allowed to put Lloyd on the non-football injury list, since appendicitis is not a football-related ailment.<\/p>\n

While this means that he will miss the next few games, which he would anyway due to having to recover from surgery, it also means that he can return to the team and be added to the roster before the season ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Lloyd was technically on the practice squad as he worked his way back from his ankle injury, the Packers suddenly had an open spot. So, they brought back a familiar face.<\/p>\n

With Lloyd now on the NFL, the Packers decided to re-sign former quarterback\/wide receiver Alex McGough.<\/p>\n

For #Packers<\/a> today, Jaire Alexander and MarShawn Lloyd are the only players on the 53 who are not practicing.<\/p>\n
