News

  • Next Gen Stats

    The Packers have allowed a 9.7% lower completion percentage with Jaire Alexander on the field (61.0%) compared to when he is not (70.7%) this season.

    Updated Mon, Dec 30 at 1:47pm
  • Candidate to be traded

    The Packers have had conversations about trading Alexander (knee) this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alexander is one of the league's premier cornerbacks when healthy, but injuries have limited him to just 14 regular-season games and two postseason appearances over the past two years. The two-time Pro Bowler is currently working his way back from a knee procedure he underwent in early January. Alexander has two years remaining on his contract, but since he carries cap hits north of $25 million in both seasons, any team interested in trading for the 28-year-old would likely be motivated to…read more

  • Landing on IR

    Green Bay is placing Alexander (knee) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alexander underwent a knee scope early this week, so it's no surprise that he's being moved to IR. Per Rapoport, the veteran cornerback will be eligible to rejoin the Packers if they make the Super Bowl, though it's unclear if he'll be fully recovered by that point. Alexander played in just seven regular-season games for the second consecutive campaign, and he's participated in that number of contests or fewer three of the past four regular seasons. He'll finish 2024 with 16 tackles (15 solo)…read more

  • Undergoes surgery Tuesday

    Alexander underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery Tuesday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Alexander hasn't played since Week 11, and he ultimately elected to have surgery to reduce the pain and swelling in his knee. Schefter notes that the star cornerback could be able to return for the Super Bowl if Green Bay advances that far. Expect the Packers to place Alexander on injured reserve prior to Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bears. Carrington Valentine will likely continue to work in a starting role at cornerback while Alexander is sidelined.

  • Needs knee surgery

    Alexander will soon undergo knee surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Packers' top cornerback has now played just 14 of a possible 34 regular-season games over the past two years, as he's been held back by injuries to his back, shoulder, groin and knee. His most recent appearance came in Week 11, and he's played just 10 snaps on defense since Week 8. The Packers have mostly played well on defense this season, but their subpar cornerback group could be a problematic in the postseason.

  • Won't return in Week 17

    Alexander (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old cornerback downgraded to a DNP at Friday's practice and is now in line to miss his sixth consecutive game Sunday due to a knee injury sustained in the Week 8 win over the Jaguars. Alexander has struggled to stay healthy over the past two seasons, appearing in just 14 of Green Bay's 33 regular-season games up to this point. With Alexander sidelined in Week 17, expect Carrington Valentine to serve as one of the Packers' top outside cornerbacks.

  • Logs limited practice Thursday

    Alexander (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was unable to play against the Saints in Week 16 despite logging full practices all week. His limited practice Thursday hints that the veteran corner may have suffered a setback in his recovery, but head coach Matt LaFleur did not comment on Alexander's rehab. Alexander's practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Sunday's NFC North clash against the Vikings.

  • Listed as full participant

    Alexander (knee) was estimated as a full participant in Green Bay's practice report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alexander has missed the team's past five games as he's been battling a knee injury, but he appears to be nearing his return. The 27-year-old will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings where he will look to help slow down Justin Jefferson and the rest of the team's high-powered offense.

  • Inactive for MNF

    Alexander (knee) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Alexander practiced fully all week leading up to Monday night's contest, but he'll ultimately miss a fifth consecutive game and his sixth of a possible last seven outings. Alexander has appeared in just seven games all year. Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes will handle cornerback duties against a Saints offense full of backups.

  • Unlikely to play Monday

    Alexander (knee) isn't expected to play Monday against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alexander remains questionable for Week 16 action after being listed as a full participant on all three practice reports ahead of Monday's matchup. A lingering PCL injury is to blame for his continued lack of availability on game days. In the end, Alexander's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Questionable for MNF

    Alexander (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against New Orleans.

    Analysis: Alexander has been battling a PCL injury that's kept him sidelined for each of the last four weeks. The 27-year-old participated in full for three straight days during Week 16 prep, though he's clearly still not fully healthy. Should Alexander end up sitting out for the fifth game in a row, then Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes would likely slot in as the Packers' top three cornerbacks.

  • Appears past knee injury

    Alexander (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Alexander has missed the Packers' last four games due to a PCL injury in his knee that he suffered against the Bears in Week 11. He was able to log full practices last week, and while he didn't play against the Seahawks this past Sunday, he is on track to play against the Saints on Monday.

  • Missing more time

    Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday that Alexander (knee) won't play in Sunday night's matchup against the Seahawks, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Alexander practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday; however, LaFleur told reporters Friday that he didn't feel the All-Pro corner was ready to return based off what he observed at practice throughout the week. The Louisville product is now set to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, with Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine expected to serve as Green Bay's top outside cornerback duo until Alexander recovers from his PCL injury.

  • Full go for Wednesday

    Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that Alexander (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site.

    Analysis: Alexander has missed four of the Packers' last five games after sustaining a partially torn PCL in a Week 8 win over the Jaguars. He practiced in full Wednesday for the first time since sustaining the injury, suggesting that the All-Pro will return for the Packers' Week 15 matchup against the Seahawks. Alexander is now expected to start opposite Keisean Nixon as part of Green Bay's top outside cornerback duo Sunday night.

  • Won't return for Week 14

    Alexander (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander appeared to be on track to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup after opening the Packers' week of practice with consecutive estimated limited sessions. However, he downgraded to no participation Wednesday, suggesting that his knee injury remains too significant for him to play in Week 14. The Packers are expected to continue starting Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine as their top outside cornerbacks until Alexander recovers from his knee issue.

  • Officially limited Monday

    Alexander (knee) was a limited participant in Monday's practice.

    Analysis: Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported earlier Monday that Alexander was practicing, but the Packers' injury report clarified that it was a limited session. The All-Pro cornerback has missed three of Green Bay's last four games due to a partial tear in his PCL; however, Monday's limited session suggests he has a shot at returning for the Week 14 divisional matchup against the Lions.

  • Continues to practice

    Alexander (knee) is practicing Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alexander has now logged back-to-back practices ahead of the Packers' divisional showdown with the Lions on Thursday. The Louisville product has missed Green Bay's last two games due to the injury but may be trending in the right direction to suit up for Week 14. A decision on his status for the game likely won't come until closer to kickoff, however.

  • Won't play in Week 13

    Alexander (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Dolphins, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander is now in line to miss his fifth game of the season after sustaining a knee injury in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. Green Bay's secondary could struggle without Alexander, especially against a Dolphins offense averaging 255.4 passing yards and 2.2 passing touchdowns per game since Tua Tagovailoa returned from injury in Week 8. The Packers are expected to start Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine as their top outside corners in Thursday night's contest.

  • Estimated as DNP

    Alexander (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Packers' All-Pro cornerback is dealing with a tear in his PCL that's sidelined him for two of the team's last three games, and Monday's estimated DNP is likely an indication that he'll miss further time. If Alexander is unable to practice in at least a limited capacity either Tuesday or Wednesday, he'll likely be held out of the Packers' Week 13 matchup against the Dolphins on Thanksgiving.

  • Sitting out in Week 12

    Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander initially injured his knee near the end of the Packers' Week 8 win in Jacksonville. After sitting out Week 9 against the Lions, he was cleared to return following the team's Week 10 bye, but he lasted just 10 snaps on defense before exiting early from this past Sunday's contest at Chicago. Alexander revealed Thursday that he's tending to a "tear on my PCL" that may result in more missed games, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Alexander isn't a…read more

  • Could miss time due to PCL injury

    Alexander said Thursday that he's dealing with a "tear on my PCL" and may miss some time, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Alexander initially suffered the injury in the waning moments of the Packers' Week 8 win at Jacksonville, which sidelined him Week 9 against the Lions. Following a Week 10 bye, he was active this past Sunday in Chicago but lasted just 10 snaps on defense before aggravating the knee in question. With no clear timetable for a return to action, Alexander may miss his fourth game of the campaign Sunday versus the 49ers, which would allow Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine to start at cornerback…read more

    Alexander (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was forced out of Sunday's game at Chicago early with a knee injury, and now it looks like his availability for Week 12 is in jeopardy. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the 49ers.

  • Avoids serious injury

    The knee injury that knocked Alexander out of Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears is not believed to be serious, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport further reported that Alexander is "going to be okay" and that Sunday's injury was a continuation of one that the cornerback had already been working through. The seventh-year pro did miss the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Lions with the injury before Green Bay's Week 10 bye. Alexander has 16 tackles (15 solo), seven passes defensed, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in seven games this season.

  • Won't return vs. Chicago

    Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Alexander may have aggravated a knee issue that caused him to be sidelined against the Lions in Week 9. With Alexander out for the remainder of Sunday's contest, Eric Stokes will see an uptick in snaps with the Packers' first-team defense opposite Keisean Nixon.

  • Leaves game with knee injury

    Alexander (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Alexander came into Sunday's game nursing a knee injury, and it appears he aggravated the issue. If he's unable to return, Eric Stokes will likely take over at corner opposite starter Keisean Nixon.

  • Will play vs. Chicago

    Alexander (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was unable to play against the Lions in Week 9 due to a knee injury. However, with the Packers on a bye in Week 10, Alexander took advantage of the additional rest and returned to practice this week on a limited basis. That appears to be good enough for the 2018 first-round pick to suit up for Sunday's NFC North clash.

    Alexander (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Alexander has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. However, Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. Alexander's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bears.

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he was optimistic Alexander (knee) would be able to play in Week 11 against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was unable to play in the Packers' last game before their bye due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 at Jacksonville, but it now seems like he could avoid missing any more game action with that issue. Green Bay's first official practice report of the week Wednesday will shed more light on his potential availability for Sunday.

    Alexander (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Alexander injured his knee in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Jaguars and missed practice all week. Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine should see increased snaps at cornerback against Detroit.

    Analysis: Alexander was unable to practice all week after sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. However, Friday's injury report indicates that the veteran corner still has a chance to suit up in Week 9.

  • Opens week as DNP

    Alexander (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alexander opening Green Bay's week of practice as a DNP comes as no surprise, as the All-Pro cornerback sustained a knee injury late in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation either Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Packers' Week 9 divisional matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: The cornerback sustained the injury late in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but Demovsky's report suggests Alexander avoided what could have been a serious issue. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication on whether he can play in this Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

  • Past groin issue

    Alexander (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he practiced in full Friday, indicating that he's moved past his groin injury. The All-Pro cornerback helped hold Stefon Diggs to five catches for just 23 yards against the Texans in Week 7. Alexander will have his hands full again Sunday, as rookie Brian Thomas currently ranks sixth in the NFL with 513 receiving yards through seven games.

  • Limited to open week

    Alexander (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: It's not much of a surprise to see Alexander on the Packers' injury report, given that he's played through a groin issue over the last two weeks. Unless he downgrades to a DNP over the next two practices, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Alexander played every single defensive snap during the Packers' win over the Texans on Sunday, picking up three solo tackles in the process.

    Alexander (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The All-Pro corner practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week due to a groin injury, but it appears he'll play through the pain for the second consecutive game Sunday. Expect Alexander to start opposite Eric Stokes as part of the Packers' top outside-cornerback duo in Week 7.

  • Still working through groin injury

    Alexander (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Alexander returned from a two-game absence in Week 6 against the Cardinals, and he finished the game with one solo tackle, one pass defended and one fumble recovery across 44 defensive snaps. Alexander was limited in all three practices last week, so unless he suffers a setback over the next few days, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Returning to action in Week 6

    Alexander (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander sat out Weeks 4 and 5 due to what first was termed a quad injury and then a groin issue, but a trio of limited sessions during Week 6 prep was enough for him to make his return to action this Sunday. He'll resume his role as the Packers' No. 1 cornerback as the team looks to stop an Arizona offense that features QB Kyler Murray, RB James Conner, WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson, and TE Trey McBride.

    Analysis: Alexander has missed Green Bay's last two contests after sustaining quadriceps and groin injuries in the Packers' Week 3 win over the Colts. However, the All-Pro cornerback was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions and has a chance to suit up in Week 6.

    Alexander (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Alexander has missed the last two games due to a groin injury, but the fact he opened the week as a limited participant, rather than as a DNP, indicates that the veteran corner is progressing through his injury. Alexander will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Alexander (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander will miss a second straight game after a groin injury popped up ahead of the Packers' Week 4 loss to the Vikings. However, Green Bay will have Carrington Valentine available after he missed back-to-back weeks, and he should start opposite Eric Stokes versus Los Angeles. Alexander logged limited practices Thursday and Friday of Week 5 prep, so he should have a good chance of returning to action in Week 6 against the Cardinals.

  • Gets questionable tag

    Alexander (groin) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Alexander missed the Packers' Week 4 loss to the Vikings due to both a quadriceps and groin issue. He kicked off this week with a DNP, but subsequently practiced consecutive days in limited fashion. He is looking like a true game-time decision Sunday. If he is unable to suit up, Corey Ballentine would be next in line to start at cornerback opposite Eric Stokes, with Keisean Nixon in the slot.

  • Upgrades to limited Thursday

    Alexander (groin) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Alexander missed Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, but his ability to see the field Thursday is a step in the right direction. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Week 5 against the Rams.

  • DNP to open week

    Alexander (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was inactive for the Packers' Week 4 loss against the Vikings after not being able to practice in the final session leading up to the game. His DNP on Wednesday isn't a great start to the week, but the veteran corner will have two more opportunities to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. Alexander has accrued 11 tackles (10 solo) and four passes defended (two interceptions, including a pick-six) across three regular-season games.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Alexander (quadriceps/groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander opened Week 4 prep with back-to-back limited sessions due to a quad injury, but he then didn't practice at all Friday as a groin issue was added to the injury report. Entering the weekend as questionable, he now won't be available to the Packers' defensive backfield. With Carrington Valentine (ankle) also out Sunday, Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine will serve as the team's starting outside cornerbacks.

  • Questionable for Week 4

    Alexander (quadriceps) is considered questionable to play Sunday versus the Vikings.

    Analysis: Alexander did not participate at practice Friday after logging back-to-back limited sessions to open the week due to quadriceps and groin injuries. It's certainly not ideal that the cornerback is trending in the wrong direction with his participation at practice, and he will likely be a game-time decision prior to Sunday's divisional matchup at home versus Minnesota.

  • Dealing with quadriceps issue

    Alexander (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alexander popped up on the Packers' injury report as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, despite playing 98-percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording a pick-six during Green Bay's Week 3 win over the Titans. If the All-Pro cornerback is unable to move past his quadriceps issue in time for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, expect Corey Ballentine to see more work with the Packers' first-team defense.

  • Picks up first pick-six

    Alexander made five tackles (four solo) and returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

    Analysis: Alexander had never found paydirt in his seven-year career, but he finally found the end zone after picking off Will Levis in the first quarter of Sunday's contest. Alexander has two interceptions through three weeks, which ties the second-best mark of his career and gives him a chance to reach or surpass the career-best five interceptions he recorded in 2022.

  • Logs interception in loss

    Alexander recorded four solo tackles and an interception in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Alexander was not particularly tight in coverage in Week 1, but he did at least pick up an interception after not recording even one in seven regular-season 2023 appearances. Injuries have been an issue for Alexander in recent years, but on the heels of a healthy offseason he is locked in as Green Bay's top cornerback.

  • Limited appearances in 2023

    Alexander recorded 27 tackles (23 solo), a forced fumble and five pass deflections over seven games in the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: It was a peculiar season for Alexander, who missed nine games with injury and another due to a team-imposed suspension, but he was out there during the playoffs, and his presence was key for Green Bay's defense. A healthy Alexander -- the league's highest-paid cornerback -- would go a long way toward the Packers being more effective on the defensive side of the ball in 2024.

    Analysis: Alexander returned from a one-game suspension to play all 46 of Green Bay's defensive snaps Week 18 against Chicago. He's been dealing with a shoulder issue since early November and missed six games because of it, though it's not certain that his current injury is related. Assuming Alexander is able to suit up in Sunday's wild-card contest versus the Cowboys, his presence will be key in trying to slow down CeeDee Lamb and Dallas' pass attack.

    Analysis: The All-Pro cornerback will return to the field in his hometown of Charlotte in Week 16 after missing the Packers' last six games.

The 2018 first-round pick is now up to 22 tackles (19 solo) in five games this season and is yet to record an interception on the year.

  • Good to go Week 9

    Alexander (back) is not listed with a game status ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Alexander has been dealing with a lingering back injury that left him sidelined Week 7 against Denver. He then played every defensive snap during the Week 8 loss to Minnesota, and while he was still limited in three straight practices from Wednesday to Friday, the 26-year-old will still be ready to suit up for the second game in a row. Over four games this season, Alexander has tallied 15 tackles and two passes defended.

    Analysis: Alexander was forced to miss Green Bay's 19-17 loss to Denver in Week 7 after aggravating his back injury that he suffered earlier in the season, so his ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a positive sign. With both Eric Stokes (hamstring) and Darnell Savage (calf) being placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Alexander's potential return to the field for Week 8 against Minnesota would be a very impactful one for the Packers' secondary.

    Analysis: Alexander missed back-to-back games due to the back issue before returning to action for the Packers' Week 5 loss to Las Vegas on Monday Night Football. However, he appears to have aggravated the issue over Green Bay's Week 6 bye and will miss another contest.

That gives him a chance to return Monday, with Packers head coach Matt LaFleur saying the team will wait until Monday night before making a decision about the cornerback's ability to take the field, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

    Analysis: Alexander is still dealing with a back issue that caused him to miss each of the Packers' past two games. He logged a pair of limited practice sessions last week but was unable to suit up against Detroit on Thursday Night Football, so it would be encouraging if he's able to return to full participation Saturday.

    Analysis: Alexander had previously been dealing with groin and foot injuries that kept him out of all three preseason contests but now appears to be healthy again.

    Alexander (groin/foot) lined up with the starting defense to begin practice Wednesday but was relegated to individual drills shortly afterward, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Per Wood, Alexander has been dealing with a foot injury, though it was previously reported that he missed the Packers' first preseason game due to a groin injury. While the cornerback's availability for the regular season doesn't appear to be in danger, it would be encouraging if Alexander were able to suit up for one of Green Bay's two remaining preseason contests, the next of which is Saturday against the Patriots.

  • Restructures contract

    Alexander restructured his contract Saturday to create upward of $10 million in cap space for the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Perhaps the only newsworthy item of the restructuring is the Packers did not add additional void years onto the end of the contract. The Pro Bowl cornerback signed a four-year extension back in May of last year and the veteran is expected to be one of the team's critical pieces whenever the post Aaron Rodgers era begins.

    Alexander recorded seven tackles (six solo), an interception and a pass deflection in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Alexander now has one fewer interception in 2022 than he recorded over his first four seasons as a pro, and his 12 pass deflections are already the third-best mark of his career. He has not been as stingy in coverage as he has been in seasons past, but he has made up for it by taking the ball away more frequently than ever before.

    Analysis: Alexander has been limited in practice since picking up a groin injury in Week 3, which sidelined him for last Sunday's win over the Patriots as well. Now, the star cornerback looks ready to go again against the Giants, who may be without top two quarterbacks Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion) in Week 5.

    Analysis: Alexander sustained a groin injury in Week 3 and was in and out of practice before being ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's win over the Patriots. The star cornerback recorded 175 tackles and 41 passes defended over his first three seasons before sitting out all but four games last year due to an AC joint injury, so Green Bay will likely take every precaution when it comes to his health. Alexander will have two more practices to return in full before Sunday's game against the Giants in London.

    Alexander (groin) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Patriots, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was able to sandwich limited practices around Thursday's absence, but ultimately the groin injury that he picked up last Sunday at Tampa Bay will sideline him for at least one game. In Alexander's place, Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas will serve as Green Bay's top two cornerbacks, with Keisean Nixon, Shemar Jean-Charles and practice squad call-up Kiondre Thomas in reserve.

    Alexander (groin) only stretched with the team Thursday and did not participate in practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The injury Alexander suffered in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers wasn't believed to be serious, but the Pro Bowl corner doesn't appear to be making progress on the practice report for Week 4.

    Analysis: Alexander was forced out of Green Bay's win over Tampa Bay on Sunday early with a groin injury, but thankfully it doesn't seem to be too serious. The highest-paid corner in the league is still questionable for Week 4 versus New England, though, and if he can't play Sunday, Keisean Nixon will likely man the slot in Alexander's absence.

    Alexander (groin) appears to have avoided a major injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Alexander still needs to undergo additional testing, but he wasn't in much distress after exiting Sunday's 14-12 win over the Buccaneers due to the injury. Once Alexander's test results come in, it will become apparent whether Green Bay's initial optimism is warranted.

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur indicated Alexander will undergo further testing on the groin injury he suffered during Sunday's 14-12 win over the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: According to Pelissero, the Packers are optimistic that the star cornerback isn't dealing with a long-term injury, but the groin issue could still put his availability for the team's Week 4 matchup with the Patriots in jeopardy. If Alexander can't play, Keisean Nixon would likely replace him as a starter at the outside corner spot opposite Eric Stokes.

    Analysis: Many people thought Alexander might shadow Minnesota's star receiver Justin Jefferson, but that simply wasn't the case Sunday. Even though Green Bay's secondary was torched by Jefferson for nine catches, 184 yards and two touchdowns, it's encouraging to see the former All-Pro cornerback played every defensive snap (62) for the Packers in Week 1.

    Alexander appeared in just four games in 2021 and recorded 13 tackles (nine solo), an interception and three pass deflections.

    Analysis: Alexander earned his first Pro Bowl berth in 2020 and got off to a good start in 2021, but he injured his shoulder and Week 4 and sat out the next 13 games. He was able to make it back for the Packers' playoff loss to the 49ers, so his health is no longer a concern. With a normal offseason ahead, Alexander will attempt to stamp himself as the best -- and perhaps, highest-paid -- cornerback in the league in 2022.

    Alexander (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was activated from injured reserve Wednesday and was limited in practice all week, but he'll remain sidelined for Sunday's primetime matchup against Minnesota. Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas should continue to see additional work in Week 17.

  • Gets in limited session Wednesday

    Alexander (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alexander was activated from injured reserve earlier in the day, so it's good to see him immediately take the practice field, even if in limited fashion. His status for Sunday's game against the Vikings remains up in the air, but if he dresses, Alexander will likely immediately draw the unenviable task of trying to slow down star Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    Alexander (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Alexander returned to practice three weeks ago, so his activation means that he'll be eligible to return to game action prior to the end of the season. It's not yet clear whether the 24-year-old will be available for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, but his status should come into focus based on his participation in practice ahead of Week 17.

  • Not expected to play Christmas Day

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that he wouldn't anticipate Alexander (shoulder) playing against the Browns on Saturday, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was designated to return from IR on Dec. 8 after leaving Week 4 early due to an AC joint injury. Despite optimism that the star cornerback would be able to return in both Week 14 and Week 15, the 24-year-old has remained sidelined. Alexander doesn't have to be activated off IR this week, but his 21-day window is inching closer, which elevates the concern that he may be shut down for the rest of the season. However, if he isn't ready to return when his three-week period is up, the more…read more

  • Should return to practice

    Alexander (shoulder) is expected to "at bare minimum" participate in individual drills this week according to head coach Matt LaFleur, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was designated to return from IR on Dec. 8 after being out since Week 4 against the Steelers. Whether Alexander will be able to prove he's ready to return in Week 15 against the Ravens remains to be seen, but there was originally optimism he could return in Week 14 against the Bears. Either way, the return of the star corner appears to be on the horizon, which is great news for the Packers' secondary as they push towards the final leg of the season.

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday the Packers are hopeful that Alexander (shoulder) can return in Week 14, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander has been sidelined since early October due to an AC joint injury, but the Packers have remained optimistic that he will be able to return this season. When asked if Alexander will be available in Week 14, LaFleur said "certainly we hope so," and "we'll see where we're at on Wednesday."

  • Packers optimistic for return

    Alexander (shoulder) has an outside shot at returning this season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder versus the Steelers on Oct. 3, a potential season-ending injury, but head coach Matt LaFleur is optimistic he could return before the end of the year. Although the coach doesn't know when Alexander could be back, any return is a welcomed one for Green Bay, as Alexander has deflected 44 passes and recorded five interceptions in four seasons with the squad.

  • Season-ending surgery not ruled out

    Alexander, who was placed on injured reserve Saturday, could require season-ending surgery to address the sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Matt LaFleur said Saturday that Alexander will hold off on having surgery for the time being, as the Packers will instead wait and see how his shoulder heals while the star cornerback is on IR for at least the next three weeks. According to Schefter, Alexander is expected to receive opinions from multiple doctors before a decision on whether surgery is necessary is made within the next two weeks, so the Packers should gain some clarity on his status for the rest of the season before…read more

    Alexander (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Alexander had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, but he'll now be forced to miss at least three games due to the shoulder injury that he sustained last week. However, coach Matt LaFleur is hopeful that the 24-year-old will be able to avoid surgery and return during the 2021 campaign, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

  • Officially ruled out for Week 5

    Alexander (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alexander's absence was expected since the team is considering surgery on his shoulder, but he hadn't been officially ruled out against the Bengals until this point. The cornerback was unable to practice in any capacity this week after sustaining the injury in Week 4 against the Steelers. Alexander's next opportunity to see the field will come on the road against the rival Bears in Week 6.

  • Surgery being considered

    Alexander (shoulder) is expected to sit out Sunday's game against the Bengals, and head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that the cornerback could require surgery to address the injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Surgery is viewed as a last resort, as the procedure would likely bring an end to Alexander's 2021 campaign. The 24-year-old should be considered week-to-week with the AC joint injury in his right shoulder until the team updates his status, but his availability for both the near future and the rest of the season would appear to be in question.

  • Absent from practice

    Alexander (shoulder) wasn't seen at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alexander suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during Sunday's Week 4 win over Pittsburgh, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to avoid a long-term absence if he can play while wearing a brace. However, the 24-year-old will likely have to suit up for practice in the coming days if he hopes to take the field in Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: The Packers reportedly fear that Alexander suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during Sunday's win over the Steelers, but the team is still consulting with injury experts. It appears that the amount of time Alexander spends on the sideline will come down to a combination of pain tolerance and whether he can play with a brace without fear of worsening his injury.

  • AC joint injury feared

    The Packers believe the injury Alexander suffered in Sunday's game against the Steelers is to the AC joint in his right shoulder, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alexander will undergo more tests in the coming week to determine an official prognosis and recovery timetable. Often injuries of this sort require a multi-week absence, so rookie first-round pick Eric Stokes may be looking at a starting gig for a few games.

    Alexander left Sunday's game against the Steelers with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

  • Picks off first pass of season

    Alexander recorded five tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-28 victory over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Alexander gave up more receptions in Sunday's game than he usually does, but he also picked off his first pass of the season. Alexander has intercepted just two passes since the start of the 2020 campaign, but that's mainly because teams usually avoid throwing in his direction.

  • Left off injury report

    Alexander (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Packers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alexander left an early training camp practice with cramps and didn't play in the preseason, but the 2020 second-team All-Pro cornerback doesn't have an injury following him into his fourth campaign. He'll initially get to lock horns this season with the WR combo of Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway in Sunday's opener against the Saints in Jacksonville.

    Alexander exited practice Friday with what he termed to be cramps, and he remained sidelined at Saturday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: There's not much cause for concern if cramps are really all Alexander's dealing with, but the panic meter will climb a bit if his absence continues to stretch on for much longer. The stud cornerback should be available well before Green Bay's Aug. 14 preseason opener.

  • Cleared for Week 12

    Alexander (knee/hand) won't carry an injury tag into Sunday's game versus the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alexander logged a trio of limited practices this week and has been given the green light for Week 12. The third-year corner out of Louisville has given up just 247 yards and one touchdown in coverage this season. He'll likely draw a difficult task in shadow coverage against Allen Robinson, who will be catching the ball from Mitchell Trubisky this week.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    Alexander (knee/hand) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alexander has dealt with the hand injury for a better part of this season, but the knee injury is of some concern. It's encouraging that he was still able to practice Wednesday, though, as a critical NFC North showdown against the Bears is on tap Sunday. If he suffers a setback and can't play, Kevin King will operate as the No. 1 cornerback, while Chandon Sullivan (ribs) could start on the outside as well.

    Alexander (concussion/hand) has been cleared for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After practicing without limitations for a second straight day, Alexander has officially cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol and will return to his starting cornerback position Sunday. The 2018 first-round pick is enjoying a breakout season as a lockdown cornerback, as he's given up just 176 receiving yards and one touchdown through eight games of handling opponents' best receivers.

  • No restrictions in practice

    Alexander (concussion/hand) was listed as a full participant for the Packers' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Alexander improved from limited to full practice participation between Wednesday and Thursday, though he has not yet been officially cleared from concussion protocol. If able to get over that hurdle, Alexander would be in line for his ninth start of the season Week 11. The Louisville product is holding opponents to a career-low 68.3 passer rating when targeted in coverage this season, and he's seemingly trending in the direction of an active designation for a Sunday matchup against the Colts.

  • Still managing injury

    Alexander (concussion/hand) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Alexander is still in concussion protocol, but the team is hoping to have him available for Sunday's game against the Colts. The Louisville product missed last week's win over Jacksonville with the concussion, and he'll need to gain full medical clearance before being granted a return. If he were to miss Week 11, Kevin King, Josh Jackson and Chandon Sullivan would work as the team's top cornerbacks.

  • Sitting as expected

    Alexander (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was considered doubtful for Sunday's contest, so his absence was to be expected. The Packers will be without their top-two cornerbacks Week 10, as Kevin King (quadriceps) is missing his fifth straight contest. Chandon Sullivan, Josh Jackson and Ka'dar Hollman figure to work as Green Bay's top corners against the Jaguars.

  • Doubtful against Jags

    Alexander (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, per coach Matt LaFleur, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A silver lining is that there's precedent this season of players clearing concussion protocol and suiting up despite doubtful tags, such as Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson in Week 8. Still, the Packers are preparing to play without Alexander, which will likely mean more playing time for Chandon Sullivan. If Alexander's unable to recover by Sunday, his next opportunity to take the field will be in Week 11 against the Colts.

    Alexander (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alexander remains in concussion protocol after absorbing a hit to the head in last Thursday's win over the 49ers. It's unclear if the 23-year-old cornerback has made any progress, but his status for this week's game against the Jaguars is in question. If Alexander sits out, Kevin King (quadriceps) likely will serve as the No. 1 cornerback as long as he's cleared to play.

  • Won't return Thursday

    Alexander (concussion) has been ruled out to return to Thursday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Alexander suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Thursday's game, a development which will leave the Packers without both top cornerbacks for the rest of the night, given that Kevin King (quadriceps) is inactive. In order to retake the field Nov. 15 versus Jacksonville, Alexander will first need to gain full medical clearance.

  • Absorbs hit to head

    Alexander has exited Thursday night's matchup against the 49ers and is being evaluated for a concussion.

    Analysis: Alexander absorbed a knee to the helmet while ushering Jerick McKinnon out of bounds on a second-quarter rush play for San Francisco. He pulled himself from the game and was promptly taken to the locker room for evaluation. Losing the 2018 first-round draft choice for the remainder of the contest would be a sizeable loss, as Alexander ranks as Pro Football Focus' No. 1 cornerback through eight weeks of the 2020 season.

Alexander has already recorded a safety, an interception and two tackles for loss, holding opposing QBs to a measly 70.2 passer rating when targeting him in coverage this season.

    Alexander (hand/knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alexander played through both injuries in Week 4 against the Falcons, and despite enjoying a Week 5 bye, he's still hampered. Considering he's still practicing, there's no major concern about the cornerback's status for this Sunday's road matchup against the Buccaneers. Alexander has been excellent this season, allowing just 5.0 yards per target and a 70.2 passer rating through four games.

    Alexander (hand/knee) has been cleared to play in Monday's matchup with the Falcons.

    Alexander (hand/knee) is on track to play Monday versus the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alexander didn't practice Saturday with what appeared to be a new knee injury, so it's encouraging that he'll likely play Monday, especially with Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley coming to town. His official status will be revealed around 90 minutes before Monday's 8:50 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Questionable for MNF

    Alexander (hand/knee) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: Alexander played through the hand injury in the Week 3 win over the Saints and was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but the knee injury is new and caused him to sit out of Saturday's session. It's concerning, especially with a game against the Falcons' elite passing attack, and we may not know his final status until 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's unable to play, Chandon Sullivan will bump to the outside or Josh Jackson will see an uptick in usage.

  • Will play through hand injury

    Alexander was added to the injury report with a hand injury but will be active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Wes Hodkiewcz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: This injury is apparently so minor that Alexander wasn't even given a questionable tag, so this shouldn't concern fantasy gamers. Alexander enjoyed a superb opener to his third NFL season, as he recorded five tackles, a safety, a pass breakup and an interception versus the Vikings, and he'll look to follow it up in a second straight divisional matchup. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) out for the Lions, Alexander will likely be in charge of covering Marvin Jones.

  • Makes impact in Week 1

    Alexander recorded five tackles (four solo), a sack, a safety and an interception in Sunday's victory over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Alexander made a couple huge plays in the second quarter of Sunday's contest, first sacking Kirk Cousins in the end zone and then picking him off on the Vikings' half of the field two drives later. Alexander generated some buzz over the offseason as a player on the rise, and that should become even more pronounced after his Week 1 performance.

He also named Alexander as a player who's excelled in virtual meetings, despite the difficulties of a shortened in-person offseason.

    Alexander said following Sunday's NFC Championship Game loss to the 49ers that he broke his right thumb, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Alexander was spotted in a cast and noted that an X-ray had revealed the extent of his injury. The 2018 first-rounder also said that he doesn't plan to undergo surgery to address the issue. While a timetable for Alexander's recovery has yet to be disclosed, if the cornerback does indeed avoid a procedure, it's reasonable to expect him to be available in some capacity for the start of OTAs.

    Alexander had eight solo tackles, an interception and two pass deflections in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: The interception was a bit of a gift, as it came on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half. However, it was only part of a big day for Alexander. He has just two interceptions this season, but he does find himself in the top 10 in the league in pass deflections with two games to go.

    Analysis: Alexander was limited in Friday's practice due to a groin issue that appears to have been suffered during weekly practices.
