• Packers' Eric Stokes: Two tackles vs. Philadelphia

  09/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Stokes finished Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles with two tackles (one solo). It was a low tackling output by Stokes, but he did play 65 of the Packers' 76 defensive snaps Friday as the starting corner opposite Jaire Alexander. Stokes has appeared in just 13 regular-season games over the past three years after appearing in 16 contests in his rookie season in 2021. The 25-year-old corner is looking to make an impact in Green Bay's secondary and earn a hefty contract after his fifth-year option was declined in May.

• Packers' Eric Stokes: Done for season

  Stokes (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Stokes appeared in each of the Packers' last two games since coming off injured reserve in mid-December, but it seems as if his hamstring issue is bothering him once again and he'll now miss the remainder of the season. The 2021 first-round pick has really struggled to stay on the field over the past two years, playing in just 12 of Green Bay's 32 games. Stokes' move to IR likely makes room for Carrington Valentine to start in the Packers' secondary over the next two weeks.

  Stokes (hamstring) is active to face the Buccaneers on Sunday, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Stokes was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will suit up Sunday for the first time since Week 7. In his only game so far this season, the cornerback logged zero defensive snaps and four special-teams snaps before hurting his hamstring. Stokes' return Sunday will provide extra depth in the Packers' defensive backfield with Jaire Alexander missing another contest due to a shoulder injury.

  Stokes (hamstring) was a full participant during practice Thursday. Stokes is still in the middle of his 21-day window to practice with the team since he was designated to return from IR on Nov. 27. The Packers can activate him to the 53-man roster at any point, but it's not clear if they will do so ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.

  Stokes (foot) has been activated off the reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Stokes remains questionable for Week 7 but may make his season debut with the Packers nearly one year after a foot injury ended his second campaign. The 2021 first-round pick figures to work his way back into the swing of things, but that process could be expedited if Jaire Alexander (back) is unable to go.
