In a shocking turn of events, Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes, who was not listed on the injury report by the team for any of their three practices this week, has been placed on the injured reserve just one day before a must-win matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. According to the Packers, Stokes’ injury is a hamstring issue, an injury that also led to him being placed on the injured reserve earlier this season.
Stokes began the 2023 regular season on the physically unable to perform list, as he continued to recover from a foot injury that ended his 2022 campaign after just nine games.
