Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since suffering foot and knee injuries during last November’s loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
Stokes, a 2021 first-round pick, started the season on the PUP list after sitting out all of training camp and missed the first four regular season games, per NFL rules.
The Packers now have 21 days — or three weeks — to activate Stokes to the 53-man roster or place him on injured reserve.
Stokes, who played in eight games last year, needed surgery to repair the foot injury.
