Getting in reps at training camp Hobbs (knee) is participating at the 49ers' training camp, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hobbs missed the first day of camp with an unspecified illness, but he returned to the practice field Monday. It appears he has also recovered from the MCL rupture he suffered in Week 17 last season, so he should have a real opportunity to make San Francisco's 53-man roster in a depth capacity.

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.

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.
