Stokes has been once again put on the injured reserve with a hamstring issue, which will cause major trouble for Green Bay, which is already missing suspended cornerback Jaire Alexander.

The hamstring problem caused Stokes to spend time on injured reserve earlier this season. He has played in just three games all season and was limited to four special-teams snaps in one of them.

The 24-year-old is no stranger to injuries as he suffered with foot issues, which prematurely ended his 2022 season.

The Packers signed safety Benny Sapp III from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday and also elevated wide receiver Bo Melton from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game.
