The Packers’ secondary got lit up by Dak Prescott in a 40-40 tie against the Dallas Cowboys before heading off to the bye week, but help could be on the way for Green Bay’s defense.
Through the season’s first five weeks, the Packers currently rank 11th against the pass, but allowed 319 passing yards and three touchdowns to Prescott in their final game before the bye week.
Help, though, could be on the way.
Could Nate Hobbs elevate Packers’ secondary?

With a showdown against the likes of wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on Sunday afternoon, a breakout star could be about to emerge.
Over at the Packers’ official website, Mike Spofford suggests that cornerback Nate Hobbs getting healthier could be a major asset for coordinator Jeff Hafley and Green Bay’s defense moving forward.
Hobbs has appeared in three games for the Packers this season, posting 10 total tackles, one pass breakup, and one tackle for loss.
Given that the 26-year-old had the added time during the bye week to get further away from the injury he suffered during the summer, he could be a player whose best football this season is still in front of him, which would be huge for a defense looking for consistent playmakers to step up.
