The Green Bay Packers fear cornerback Eric Stokes will be lost for the season due to the knee and ankle injuries he suffered last week against the Detroit Lions.
Coach Matt LaFleur wasn’t able to say with certainty, but he said the diagnosis of the injury is trending toward season-ending.
“It’s looking unlikely, I don’t have an exact update for that,” LaFleur said Friday.
Stokes was injured on a play in the first half and needed to be carted from the sideline to the locker room.
The second-year cornerback has played in 25 of a possible 26 games since entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the Packers in 2021.
