Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:18:12 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes won’t play Sunday night at Minnesota due to a hamstring injury, causing one more obstacle for a secondary that already will be missing suspended cornerback Jaire Alexander.Stokes hadn’t been listed on Friday’s injury report, but the Packers announced Tuesday the hamstring issue would prevent the 2021 first-round pick from Georgia from playing.The hamstring problem had caused Stokes to spend time on injured reserve earlier this season.
