The 2023 season debut for Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes lasted only a handful of plays. Stokes, who was activated from the PUP list on Saturday, injured his hamstring in the first half on Sunday against the Denver Broncos and is officially questionable to return.
Update: The Packers ruled out Stokes to start the second half.
Stokes, a 2021 first-round pick, appeared to be injured covering a punt. He grabbed the back of his leg and limped off.
Sunday was Stokes’ first appearance since injuring his foot and knee in Detroit on Nov. 6 of last year. He needed surgery on both injuries and missed the rest of the season and all of the offseason.
Stokes dealt with a couple of hamstring tweaks while attempting to return to the field in training camp.
The Packers also reported safety Darnell Savage has a calf injury — the same issue he dealt with coming out of Las Vegas — and is questionable to return. He went down on a run play in the second quarter. Defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt is also questionable to return with a knee injury.
Update: Savage and Wyatt were both ruled out to start the second half.
