Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday that CB Eric Stokes is "unlikely" to play the rest of the season after suffering ankle and knee injuries in the loss to the Lions. That will leave Green Bay without a starting corner, but the team remains in decent shape at the position. Keisean Nixon looks like the new #3 CB, with Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas.
In a decision clearly pandering to disgruntled QB Aaron Rodgers, the Packers spent Pick 29 of the 2021 NFL Draft on Georgia CB Eric Stokes. The former Bulldog defensed 22 passes over 3 seasons and grabbed 4 INTs in just 9 games last year. Stokes then ran a 4.29-second 40 at his pro day. He figures to compete for Kevin King's starting job opposite Jaire Alexander.
