Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes returned to practice on Tuesday, marking the first time that he’s been back on the field since his 2022 season-ending injuries. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood, Stokes reportedly stated that the injuries that ended his campaign last season were a Lisfranc to his foot and a torn meniscus in his knee, both of which demanded surgery.
Stokes began camp on the physically unable to perform list for the Packers, where he remained through cutdowns. If a player is on the PUP at the start of the regular season, he officially has to miss at least the first four weeks of the season before he’s allowed to practice with the team.
