Signs with San Francisco The 49ers agreed to terms with Hobbs (knee) on a one-year, $4 million contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Hobbs signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers last offseason to be the team's slot corner, but he dealt with injuries seemingly all season and appeared in just 11 regular-season contests. Hobbs finished with a career-low 27 tackles (14 solo) and just two pass breakups. He'll try to rediscover his health and play in San Francisco after suffering a torn MCL in Week 17.

Set to be released by Packers The Packers will release Hobbs (knee) after the start of the new league year, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Despite inking a four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers in March of 2025, Hobbs' time in Green Bay has come to an end after just one season. The Illinois product struggled to stay on the field and finished the year on IR due to an MCL tear. Across 11 appearances in 2025, Hobbs logged 356 defensive snaps and tallied 27 total tackles and two passes defensed (all career lows). While the 26-year-old's release does not become official until June 1, he's expected to be coveted by team's in need of secondary help ahead of next season.

ESPN floats surprising Nate Hobbs trade idea for Packers After an underwhelming first season, Nate Hobbs faces an uncertain future with the Green Bay Packers.

Ends season with MCL tear Hobbs ended the 2025 season with 27 tackles (14 solo) and two passes defensed over 11 games.

Impact The starting cornerback's season ended early due to a torn MCL he suffered in the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Ravens. Hobbes started the season late due to a knee injury and also missed four games in the middle of the 2025 campaign due to the same lingering knee issue. This was the first season of the cornerback's four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers. The biggest question about Hobbes heading into the 2026 season will be whether or not knee issues will continue to affect his week-to-week availability.

Placed on IR Hobbs (knee) landed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact This was the expected outcome after Hobbs suffered a knee injury this past Saturday against Baltimore. Though he could technically return if Green Bay reaches the Super Bowl, it's not clear if there's a chance he'll be recovered in time even if the Packers were to win three playoff games. Hobbs will finish his first campaign in Green Bay with 27 tackles and two defensed passes along with 45 kick-return yards over 11 regular-season games.

Likely done for the season Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Hobbs (knee) is likely out for the rest of the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old corner sustained a knee injury in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and it now appears serious enough to sideline him for the remainder of the season. Hobbs struggled to stay healthy in his first year as a Packer, recording 31 total tackles and two passes defensed across 11 games. While he's likely out for the rest of Green Bay's 2025 campaign, expect Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine to operate as the team's top boundary cornerback duo.

Ruled out with knee Hobbs (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.

Impact Hobbs was unable to return for the second half of Saturday night's game. The cornerback will end the night with one solo tackle and one pass defensed. The rest of the Packers' secondary will have to fill in for the injured corner, with Bo Melton as the primary candidate for an increased snap share.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with knee issue Hobbs (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hobbs exited the game in the second quarter with a knee injury. The issue could potentially be a re-aggravation of a prior issue the cornerback suffered in Week 4 against the Cowboys. If Hobbs is unable to return Bo Melton will likely see an increased role in the Packers' secondary for the remainder of Saturday night's contest.

Will play Week 14 Hobbs (knee) is active for Green Bay's game versus the Bears on Sunday, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

Impact Hobbs is set to make his return to the field after missing the last four games with a knee injury. The 26-year-old should resume his role as a depth corner during Sunday's matchup.
