Overview

• Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs underwent knee surgery on Saturday to repair a partial meniscus tear and will sit out the rest of training camp.
• Sources say the procedure was performed at 7 a.m. without complications and that Hobbs could return for the Sept. 7 season opener if his rehab stays on schedule.
• Following Hobbs’s surgery, Green Bay re-signed veteran Corey Ballentine and elevated Carrington Valentine to handle outside cornerback duties opposite Keisean Nixon.
• The $48 million free-agent signing had been brought in to bolster a secondary weakened by Jaire Alexander’s release, highlighting the roster’s depth concerns.
• Coach Matt LaFleur declined to set a specific timeline for Hobbs’s return but praised the veteran’s competitive play before the injury.
