The Packers have made an unexpected addition to their injury report in advance of Sunday night’s game against the 49ers.
Cornerback Kevin King is out, due to an illness. It’s a non-COVID illness. Regardless, King won’t play.
The situation means plenty more work for rookie first-rounder Eric Stokes, against a very complex and effective San Francisco offense.
The Green Bay defense has looked suspect at times. The Packers will need to find a way to stiffen tonight. They’re already missing linebacker Za’Darius Smith, who is on injured reserve.
