Overview
- In the Week 8 win over the Steelers, Hobbs logged only four defensive snaps as Carrington Valentine started on the outside.
- Matt LaFleur praised Valentine’s play and said the position will remain a competition because the staff still has confidence in Hobbs.
- Hobbs said he leans on his faith, needs to stay locked in on every snap, and noted his knee is not currently an issue after summer meniscus surgery.
- The 2025 free-agent signee on a four-year, $48 million deal started early in the season and averaged 53.4 snaps through Week 7 before a high-profile lapse in Arizona preceded his reduced role.
- Green Bay added cornerback Tyron Herring and defensive lineman Dante Barnett to the practice squad to bolster depth as evaluations continue at corner.
