Eric Stokes should start for the Packers ahead of Kevin King in Week 2.
First-round pick Eric Stokes didn’t get too many opportunities on defense in his Green Bay Packers debut, but that should change next week against the Detroit Lions.
According to Evan “Tex” Western of Acme Packing Company, Stokes only played on eight defensive snaps against the New Orleans Saints. That’s surprising. But he did make an impact with one pass defense.
Starter Kevin King, meanwhile, played the majority of the snaps and struggled.
