After missing most of last season due to hamstring injuries, Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes has been working with the starters during OTAs.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur tried to hit the brakes, but it was too late. Cornerback Eric Stokes, who had injuries stomp on the brakes of his career the last two years, is healthy to start organized team activities.
A first-round pick in 2021, Stokes had an impressive rookie season. Thrust into a huge role following Jaire Alexander’s shoulder injury, he started 14 games and had a team-leading 14 passes defensed. Among the 16 rookie cornerbacks who played at least 200 coverage snaps, Stokes ranked No. 1 in completion percentage allowed and forced incompletions, according to Pro Football Focus.
“It’s crazy how everything’s connected in your body and all this stuff. If one area’s weak, the other parts of your body are going to try to take control or put more workload on it. So, that’s pretty much what’s been going on. My hamstring was taking so much workload that it just kept messing up.”
