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.
Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (shoulder, ankle) is active ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. Alexander was questionable coming into this contest as he's been banged up lately. He was limited to seven regular season games in 2023. Luckily for Green Bay, Alexander has been cleared to play ahead of this big game. He'll provide a significant boost to this defensive unit as they attempt to slow down the 49ers offense.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (ankle) is listed as questionable on the final injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday. Alexander hurt his ankle during practice last week but managed to play in the wild-card upset against the Dallas Cowboys, but he aggravated his ankle injury in that game and might have to miss this weekend's game as a result. The 26-year-old had an interception before reinjuring his ankle last weekend and is a big part of Green Bay's secondary, so not having him available in the Division Round against a 49ers offense with tons of weapons would be a big loss. With or without Alexander, it's going to be difficult for the Packers' defense to slow down the top-seeded team in the NFC on the road.
Jaire Alexander "Doing Better" Despite Logging DNP On Wednesday
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Matt LaFleur said, "He's doing better. He's getting treatment, and we'll see where he's at tomorrow." Alexander has been banged up seemingly all season and came into the NFC wild-card round questionable with shoulder and ankle injuries and aggravated his ankle ailment in the win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old intercepted quarterback Dak Prescott to put the Packers in the red zone early in the game, and his absence would leave a significant hole in the Green Bay secondary against studs like Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel on Saturday against the 49ers. Since it's a playoff game, he'll likely play if he's close to being relatively healthy, but Thursday's practice report and game status will bring more clarity to the situation.
Jaire Alexander Questionable To Return Against Dallas
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old rolled his ankle during Wednesday's practice and didn't participate in Thursday or Friday's sessions. However, he was cleared to play in Super Wild Card Weekend, which was great news for the Packers. There's a good chance Alexander won't be back, especially with Green Bay holding a decisive lead heading into the fourth quarter. If so, he'll finish with seven tackles and a pick. But now there will be questions regarding his health ahead of the Packers' next postseason contest, assuming they finish off Dallas and advance.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder, ankle) is officially active for Sunday's playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. He had been listed as questionable and was a true game-time decision after missing practice on Friday. Nevertheless, the talented cornerback underwent a series of tests prior to kickoff and was deemed healthy enough to play. The 26-year-old registered 27 tackles and one forced fumble through parts of seven games during the regular season. He'll be tasked with slowing down a wide receiver group led by CeeDee Lamb on Sunday.
Green Bay Packers star cornerback Jaire Alexander (ankle), who was listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, is viewed as 50/50 to play. Alexander's 2023 season has been full of injuries, and he suffered an ankle injury in practice on Thursday that has him up in the air to play in Dallas on Sunday. Not having Alexander in their secondary would be really bad news as the Packers try to slow down the highest-scoring offense in the NFL and star wideout CeeDee Lamb. Even if Alexander is cleared to play, the Packers defense won't be the smartest DFS play this weekend. The 26-year-old former first-rounder has played in only seven games this season and has 27 tackles (23 solo), five passes defensed and one forced fumble. If the All-Pro defensive back is inactive, expect Keisean Nixon Corey Ballentine to see increased playing time.
