21 players who are locks for the Packers 2024 roster

Eric Stokes

Injuries have derailed Eric Stokes' season. After missing the second half of 2022, hamstring issues stalled his recovery this past summer. Four snaps into his return in Week 7, another hamstring injury sidelined him for another six games. Stokes could return in Week 14 against the New York Giants.

Stokes will be part of the Packers' plans in 2024, regardless of how many snaps he plays in the final five games this year. When healthy, Stokes is a starter at cornerback, and Green Bay will need him after trading away Rasul Douglas.

The 2024 season will be a big one for Stokes. It will be the final year of his rookie deal. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and get back to the level he was playing at throughout his rookie season.

T.J. Slaton

T.J. Slaton is an unsung hero along the defensive line. His role as the nose tackle doesn't result in many sacks or big-time stops, but he regularly takes on double teams, making life easier for the other defensive linemen.

Slaton is having an excellent season, especially against the run. The Packers have full confidence in him, with Slaton starting all 12 games this year. Kenny Clark is the only defensive lineman to play more snaps.

Slaton should be locked into the 2024 starting lineup.
