Green Bay Packers Place Eric Stokes, Darnell Savage on Injured Reserve, Jonathan Owens Steps Up to Start

Packers struggling with depth in secondary; Stokes and Savage to miss at least four games, Jonathan Owens set to step in while the team signs Corey Ballentine and Robert Rochell, also promoting Zyon Gilbert to the practice squad to bolster defensive line.

The Green Bay Packers have placed cornerback Eric Stokes and safety Darnell Savage on injured reserve following injuries sustained in their recent game against the Denver Broncos. Both players must miss at least the next four games due to this development.
Stokes, who was in the first game post a year's break due to a foot issue, injured his left hamstring, while Savage suffered a calf injury. The plight of injuries has added to the Packers' struggle with depth in their secondary.
Jonathan Owens is set to step in to start in the wake of these injuries. Owens is a seasoned player who started all 17 games for the Houston Texans last season and showcased promising performance in the recent Broncos match despite a penalty.
The Packers have supplemented their secondary by signing Corey Ballentine from practice squad to active roster and taking on Robert Rochell from the Carolina Panthers' practice squad. Zyon Gilbert has also been signed on to the practice squad to strengthen the defensive line.
Despite injuries and setbacks, the Packers are hopeful for the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings and are relying on heightened performances from their defending squad and an improved offense strategy.
