Green Bay, WI — What was meant to be a night of celebration and team bonding turned into a medical emergency at the Green Bay Packers’ Thanksgiving dinner, hosted by cornerback Nate Hobbs.
According to team sources, four players were hospitalized just hours after the meal, suffering from severe food poisoning symptoms. Emergency medical services were called to the scene, and all affected players were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The source of the contamination? Initial reports point to a suspicious stuffing dish — prepared by a chef’s assistant who, according to social media posts, is a known Philadelphia Eagles fan.
“It was all good vibes until people started dropping like flies,” one player reportedly said. “We thought it was just too much turkey — then the medics showed up.”
NFL officials have since confirmed they are opening an internal investigation into the incident. While it is still early, there are concerns about potential foul play, especially given the assistant’s public allegiance to one of the Packers’ NFC rivals.
The chef’s assistant, whose name hasn’t been officially released, is already under heavy scrutiny online. One resurfaced post from last season reads:
“If I ever got near the Packers, trust me — I’d leave a mark 💚🦅”
Nate Hobbs issued a brief apology on Instagram, writing:
“I invited the team to my table with love and good vibes… what happened was beyond anything I could imagine. Praying for my brothers.”
As of now, all four players are in stable condition and expected to recover, but tensions are high within the organization — and NFL security protocols for private team events may be about to change.
Meanwhile, Eagles fans on X are having a field day:
“Fly Eagles Fly… straight into the stuffing 😭”
“Hobbs really got sacked by Thanksgiving dinner.”
Developing story… and developing stomachs.
