The Green Bay Packers designated cornerback Eric Stokes for return from injured reserve on Monday, opening his 21-day practice window and creating the possibility of him returning to play Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Stokes, who missed the Packers’ last five games with a hamstring injury, can now practice with the team for up to three weeks — without counting a spot on the 53-man roster — before he must be activated to roster or sent back to injured reserve. The Packers can activate him at any point during the three-week window.
