Matt LaFleur confirms Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd avoided long-term injury
Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Thursday what Josh Jacobs first revealed on Tuesday: running back MarShawn Lloyd avoided a long-term injury when he was hurt during the team's first padded practice on Monday. LaFleur said Lloyd will miss practice time this week but avoided the worst-case scenario. "It's not going to be a long-term deal, but I wouldn't anticipate him (practicing) this week," LaFleur said Thursday. Lloyd suffered a groin/core injury on a perimeter run during Monday's practice. The Packers believed he was injured while planting his foot on the run and not when hit low unexpectedly by Nate Hobbs following the cut. A third-round pick in 2024 who missed most of training camp with injuries and then played in just one regular season game, Lloyd desperately needs the practice reps. With this new injury, Lloyd will miss at least three more practices, including Saturday night's "Family Night" event at Lambeau Field. Next week, the Packers don't return to the field until Tuesday morning. Green Bay's first preseason game is in eight days, which might be a stretch if Lloyd is dealing with a soft-tissue injury and can't practice this week. The Packers host the New York Jets on Saturday, Aug. 9. In related injury news, LaFleur said rookie receiver Savion Williams is still going through the "return to play" protocol after suffering a concussion, explaining why he left practice early on Tuesday.

Ravens players seek swimming lessons from Baltimore native Michael Phelps
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have reached out to a local expert for help — not with blocking or tackling but with swimming. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video on social media asking 23-time Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps — a Baltimore native — for swimming lessons. The video includes Humphrey, tackle Ronnie Stanley, safety Kyle Hamilton and tight end Charlie Kolar standing in the pool. 'Did you know that one in three Ravens cannot swim,' Hamilton says. 'Come to Ravens training camp in this beautiful aquatics center and teach us how to swim,' Humphrey adds. Phelps seemed amenable to the idea, replying: 'I got yall!!! Let's do it!!' Kolar said after practice Wednesday that he didn't realize Humphrey was going to post the video. 'I should have known. It's so on brand,' Kolar said. "I thought it was going to be like a story or maybe sent to him, but I should have known better. I should have known better.' ___ AP NFL:
