Eric Stokes

The Raiders signed CB Eric Stokes to a one-year, $4 million contract.

Fantasy Impact

Stokes spent the first part of his career with the Packers where he had some success before he had his fifth-year option declined. He'll likely compete for a starting role with the Raiders defense under Pete Carroll.

The Packers declined the fifth-year option for Eric Stokes.

Fantasy Impact

Stokes has dealt with injuries the past couple of seasons following a solid rookie year in Green Bay. He will look for a big season coming up in a prove-it type of year.

Eric Stokes has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

It will be rookie Jaren Hall under center for Minnesota against a depleted Packers secondary that will be without both Stokes and Jaire Alexander. Green Bay was already struggling defensively so it has the potential to be a fairly high-scoring game between the two divisional rivals.

The Packers have designated Eric Stokes to return from the PUP list and have opened up his 21-day practice window.

Fantasy Impact

Stokes hasn't seen the field at all this year after he began the season on the PUP list for injuries he suffered last season. His 21-day practice window is officially open, which means that the team has three weeks to activate him or else he'll be out for the year. The former first-round pick should be back soon and will be a huge boost to a Green Bay defense that struggled heavily in Week 4.

Eric Stokes is slated to begin the season on the PUP list, making him ineligible to appear in at least the team's first four games.

Fantasy Impact

Stokes, a former first-round pick in the 2021 draft, will be out for at least the Packers' first four games. This leaves the team with only four CBs on their active roster, including 2023 seventh-round pick Carrington Valentine. Perhaps the team will look to add a veteran before the season begins.
