This Will Be a Critical Season for Packers CB Eric Stokes

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur indicated that cornerback Eric Stokes may not be ready to play in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season earlier this week. Stokes suffered a serious injury in Week 9 of last season and missed the rest of the 2022 campaign.

Cornerback is one of the Packers deeper positions in theory. They do have two other proven starters on the roster in Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander and veteran Rasul Douglas. LaFleur also mentioned that Keisean Nixon will likely see time as the nickel back. Hopefully, a healthy Shemar Jean-Charles will be around to give the team some depth.
