GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs won’t be practicing for a while after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus on his right knee over the weekend. Packers coach Matt LaFleur says he doesn’t want to speculate on when Hobbs might return. Hobbs said the injury arose from a collision during Thursday’s practice. Hobbs hasn’t been practicing since. The Packers signed Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract in March after he spent four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been suspended for three games by the NFL. The suspension is due to a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy related to a drunken driving case from last year. Addison avoided a trial by pleading no contest to a lesser charge last month. He was arrested in July 2024 when found asleep in his vehicle. The suspension will affect games against Chicago, Atlanta and Cincinnati. Addison, the 23rd pick of the 2023 draft, has been a key player alongside Justin Jefferson. The Vikings will rely on other receivers during his absence.
