Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) will miss his third straight outing in Week 14 when his team lines up against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. The seventh-year veteran picked up a knee ailment back in Week 9 that he's battled through since then. He was able to log limited sessions on Monday and Tuesday but was downgraded to a DNP on Wednesday before ultimately being ruled out for the matchup. Defensive back Carrington Valentine projects to continue filling in for the 27-year-old stalwart while he's shelved. With teammate Corey Ballentine (knee) also deemed out, the Pack will be a bit short in their defensive backfield for the divisional clash.
Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) was a limited participant once again during Tuesday's practice. This is now back-to-back limited sessions for Alexander ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. Alexander has missed three of the last four games due to a partially torn PCL. Despite that, Alexander appears to have a chance at playing in this important divisional contest. The All-Pro defensive back would give this defense and especially this secondary a huge lift. His participation during Wednesday's practice will go a long way to determining his status for Thursday's game.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) was able to get through a limited practice session on Monday. That is good news considering Alexander has missed three of the last four games due to a partial torn PCL. Alexander will need to continue practicing through the rest of the week in order to have a chance at suiting up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. The return of the All-Pro defensive back would be a huge boost for this defense for this Week 14 matchup.
Jaire Alexander Dealing With Torn PCL, No Timetable For A Return
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) said on Thursday that he's dealing with a torn PCL that he suffered in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8. Alexander missed the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions. The Packers had their bye in Week 10, and Alexander played just 10 defensive snaps in last week's win over the Chicago Bears before leaving the game and not returning. He's hoping to return to the All-Pro form he had in 2020 and 2022 but doesn't know exactly when he might be back with the team. Alexander did say, though, that "I just need more than 21 days of non-contact." The veteran defensive back has missed 27 of a potential 61 regular-season games since the start of 2021, with 26 of them coming due to injury. Alexander can still be an elite corner when healthy, but Green Bay's secondary will be more vulnerable in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) left Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears with a knee injury, and the team has listed him as questionable to return. With the injury coming in the second half, the team could play it safe and keep him on the sidelines. Corey Ballentine is the next man up on the depth chart and will try to secure a division win.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) is officially active on Sunday for the divisional contest at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Alexander came into Sunday's game with a questionable tag but will end up being active after being limited in practice all week. It's good news for Green Bay's secondary as they go up against a struggling Bears passing offense that just fired their offensive coordinator. The 27-year-old Alexander will be returning after missing the Week 10 contest. The oft-injured defensive back -- he's missed three games in 2024 after missing 10 last year -- will look to slow down Chicago's trio of receivers in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and rookie Rome Odunze. The two-time Pro Bowler isn't on the IDP fantasy radar for starting lineups and has only 16 tackles (15 solo), two interceptions, seven pass breakups and a fumble recovery in his six games this year.
Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's first practice of the week, as reported by Bill Huber of SI.com. The former first-round pick sat out of the team's 24-14 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 9 after a week's worth of DNPs. However, it appears he's made progress after the Packers' Week 10 bye, at least able to log a limited session ahead of Green Bay's road tilt against the Chicago Bears. It's a good sign for his status this Sunday. If Alexander is forced to miss more time, fellow defensive backs Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine will continue to see an uptick in snaps. Keep an eye on his status moving forward, as his practice participation over the next few days should give us a better idea of his health.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) is inactive for Week 9 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices. The 27-year-old will now have extra time to get healthy between today's absence and the Packers' Week 10 bye. For now, Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine should see extra opportunities in the secondary.
Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) was removed early during Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Afterwards, Alexander underwent an MRI on his knee, but the testing didn't reveal any significant damage. It sounds like the team plans on monitoring Alexander throughout the week. That being said, Alexander could still end up missing the Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Alexander has been banged up throughout the season, but has still managed to play in six games. The absence of Alexander would be a significant loss to this secondary ahead of an important divisional game.
Green Bay Packers defensive backs Jaire Alexander (groin, quadriceps), Carrington Valentine (ankle) and Kitan Oladapo are all inactive for the big Week 4 divisional clash at Lambeau Field on Sunday versus the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. The biggest name here is Alexander, who came into this contest listed as questionable with multiple injuries that kept him out of practice on Friday. His absence is a big blow to the Packers as they look to try and slow down All-Pro wideout Justin Jefferson and the returning Jordan Addison (ankle). With Alexander out, the Packers called up Kamal Hadden and Robert Rochell from the practice squad on Saturday. The Packers defense/special teams unit should be considered a borderline starting fantasy option in 12-team leagues this weekend against a Vikings team looking to start 4-0.
