Carrington Valentine is set to get the start in Stokes’ place.
Stokes has played in three games this season and has compiled six total tackles (five solo). This is his third season with the Packers after he was a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
In 28 career games, Stokes has 87 total tackles (69 solo), one interception, and 14 passes defended.
Both the Packers and Vikings are still in the hunt for a playoff spot in the NFC. The winner of this game will stay alive heading into Week 18 next weekend while the loser will all but be eliminated.
Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
