Packers pivot to Carrington Valentine in win over Bears, leaving Eric Stokes on the sidelines

Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes did not have an injury designation heading into Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. However, Stokes played only four defensive snaps in the Packers’ narrow 20-19 win.

In October, I wrote that it was starting to look like the beginning of the end for the former first-round pick. The injuries Stokes suffered in 2022 and 2023 that limited him to just 12 appearances were clearly affecting his play. He was one of the worst corners in the league from a statistical standpoint, according to data from NFL Pro and Pro Football Focus.
