Report: With Nate Hobbs out multiple games, Packers have interest in Asante Samuel Jr.
Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs will miss at least the next two games with a sprained MCL in his knee, Ryan Wood of PackersNews reports.
Hobbs missed Week 1 recovering from surgery for a torn meniscus, but his current injury is not in the same knee. An MRI on Monday revealed the small tear in his MCL, a grade 1 sprain that will not require surgery, according to Wood.
Hobbs had played only 23 defensive snaps total the past two weeks.
With Hobbs sidelined, the Packers are considering signing free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com reports.
Doctors recently cleared Samuel for football activities after he underwent spinal fusion surgery in April.
Report: Packers interested in signing CB Asante Samuel Jr.
Look for a reunion between CB Asante Samuel Jr. and Green Bay passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley on the horizon.
According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Green Bay Packers remain interested in signing free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., one of the top free agents in last spring’s class who has yet to sign with a team. Samuel has recently been cleared after undergoing a spine fusion this offseason, after playing just four games for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.
Based on sources I’ve talked to, here’s the scenario. The Packers wanted to have Samuel on a visit, prior to him being cleared for action, in an effort to recruit him. Samuel’s camp told Green Bay that any visit would have to wait until after the trade deadline, as Samuel is hoping to land with a team where he can start immediately, so that he can build back his on-field reputation in time for the 2026 free agent market. Remember, Samuel is coming off his rookie contract, so his career earnings are $7.2 million at the moment. His next multi-year deal will likely be where he receives the most money in his NFL career, if all goes well in 2025.

Packers ‘Looking Into’ Signing Former Second-Round CB, Says NFL Insider
The Green Bay Packers may have swung and missed on a trade for a tight end on Tuesday, but according to one NFL insider, the team could be close to adding an impact player on the other side of the ball.
The Packers reportedly tried to trade for Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer on Tuesday to replace breakout star Tucker Kraft but couldn’t close the deal. The team settled for adding TE Josh Whyle and defensive lineman Arron Mosby from the practice squad to the active roster, but Green Bay is apparently in on one prominent free-agent defensive back as well.
