Green Bay Packers activate CB Eric Stokes off PUP list

The Packers have activated cornerback Eric Stokes off the PUP list. Green Bay made the announcement on Saturday, a day prior to Sunday’s contest against the Broncos.

Stokes will make his return this weekend in Denver, a year after suffering a foot injury that has kept him sidelined for quite some time.

Stokes, who has been practicing with the team for a few weeks, says he’s ready to be back on the field.

“Physically, yeah, mentally, yeah. Everything is there,” Stokes said, per SI.com. “It’s just the point of I’ve just got to get there. It’s just the point of me being 100 percent sure with everything that’s going on. It’s being smart, being safe because it’s a long season. I think we still got like 11, 12 games after this, so it’s still a long season ahead.”
