GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes is hopeful that his injuries are finally behind him as the 2021 first-round pick looks to recapture the promise he showed as a rookie.
“I feel like I’ve got something to prove,” said Stokes, who has played in just three games since his series of injuries began in a November 2022 loss at Detroit. "I just can’t wait to come out Week 1 and show everybody.”
Stokes has been practicing fully during the Packers’ organized team activities, an encouraging sign after all the adversity he’s faced over the past couple of seasons.
