Packers' Nate Hobbs: Diagnosed with MCL sprain
Rotowire
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Hobbs is expected to miss at least two games due to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Ryan Woods of PackersNews.com reports.
The injury is not to the same knee that was surgically repaired during training camp, but Woods relays that Hobbs started to feel knee pain during the Packers' Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. He played just 21 snaps (19 on defense, two on special teams) during the Packers' 16-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday, and further tests on the knee revealed a Grade 1 sprain that will keep the fifth-year corner out for at least two games, though the injury isn't severe enough to require surgery. With Hobbs sidelined for Weeks 10 and 11, his next opportunity to play will be Week 12 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 23.
Hobbs (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Hobbs was limited to open Week 8 prep due to a lingering knee injury, but his ability to practice Thursday indicates that he is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. The 2021 fifth-rounder has played every single defensive snap in the Packers' two games following the Week 4 bye, accumulating nine tackles (five solo) over that span.

Packers' Nate Hobbs: Back on injury report
Rotowire
Hobbs (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Hobbs was a late addition to Green Bay's injury report due to a knee injury last Friday but was able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. He ended up playing all of the Packers' defensive snaps in that game, finishing with six tackles. With that in mind, Hobbs' limited participation Wednesday may have been for maintenance reasons, though his status the remainder of the week should shed some light on whether he's at any risk of missing Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
Hobbs (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Hobbs was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to a knee injury. He was listed as questionable heading into Week 7 but has been cleared to suit up after going through pregame warmups. With Keisean Nixon (illness) also active, Hobbs will likely serve in a rotational role in the secondary while contributing on special teams.
Hobbs (knee) was added to the injury report Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Hobbs wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, but he apparently tweaked his knee at some point during the week. It's positive that he was still able to practice in some capacity, but his status isn't likely to be clear until 90 minutes before the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
