Recovering from knee and foot injuries wasn’t the only hurdle for Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes in his long comeback from last November’s season-ending injuries.
Stokes, who practiced Tuesday for the first time since the injuries, said he “tweaked” his hamstring (on the same side) a few times during training camp, delaying his return to the field.
“Couple of times during camp,” Stokes said of the tweaks Tuesday.
The hamstring injuries help explain why the Packers’ optimism about Stokes practicing during training camp never materialized. His goal was to play Week 1 but the hamstring tweaks — “annoying little things,” he called them — kept delaying his return to the practice field.
