He's back. Again.
Per Bill Huber, the Packers are activating cornerback Eric Stokes off injured reserve.

Stokes came off PUP earlier this season only to last four special teams snaps before suffering a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve.
The former first round pick has practiced the last three weeks, including full participation the last two weeks.
Don't expect Stokes to see a ton of snaps on Sunday against the Buccaneers. The Packers will most likely mix him in rotationally at most, at least for the next few games.

If Stokes can return to his rookie season form it will be great to have him back. Thanks, Since '61

Wouldn’t expect Stokes to contribute much tomorrow. Good to have him back. GPG!

The sooner we see him. The better.
Maybe Gute won't take a CB rd 1 after all.

His rookie season was his only good productive season.

Stokes has been out so long that we forget what we are missing. He hasn't played well since his rookie campaign and that seems like a lifetime ago.
He would be a great surprise to play well today and let's hope he is ready and available.
