Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur is impressed with the progress of cornerback Eric Stokes and receiver Christian Watson, both of whom had their 2023 season marred by soft tissue injuries. LaFleur stated that Stokes, in particular, has been a full participant at the start of the offseason and looks great.

State of Play
  • Packers are currently in the initial stages of the offseason workout program, with OTAs scheduled to commence next month.
  • The team is closely monitoring the progress of Stokes and Watson as they work through the training and conditioning regimen.
What's Next

The first round of OTAs for the Packers is set to begin on May 20, providing a more competitive environment to assess the players' response to the training.

Bottom Line
