Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Nate Hobbs will miss the rest of training camp after weekend knee surgery, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Hobbs, who signed a four-year, $48 million contract as a free agent in March, could be back for the Sept. 7 season opener against the visiting Detroit Lions.
Hobbs, 26, underwent a procedure Saturday to repair a partial meniscus tear, per the report. He has not practiced since Thursday.
He had been having a strong training camp, adding such a physical presence that coach Matt LaFleur had to ask him to save something for the regular season.
'The thing you admire most about him is he's passionate about the game and he loves to compete,' LaFleur said last month. 'That's one of the reasons we went out and got him is he shows it. He's that consistently on a daily basis.'
He played his first four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2021. He posted 281 tackles, 3.0 sacks, three interceptions and 19 passes defensed in 51 games (38 starts).
With Hobbs sidelined, cornerbacks Carrington Valentine and recently signed Corey Ballentine could see more time on the outside opposite Keisean Nixon.
