Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (23) reacts after intercepting a pass during the first quarter of the wild card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday, January 14, 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Overview

  • Alexander has not practiced since August 9, per reporter Luke Jones, as Baltimore manages a nagging knee issue.
  • John Harbaugh said the cornerback has dealt with the knee for years and recently underwent treatment that requires a brief pause from practice.
  • Harbaugh suggested Alexander could be ready for the season opener in Buffalo, though the team has not announced a return date.
  • Green Bay released the two-time Pro Bowler in the spring, and he joined Baltimore on a one-year deal worth up to $6 million after playing only seven games in both 2023 and 2024.
  • Analysts rate the Ravens’ cornerback group highly when healthy, but availability is under scrutiny, and the team reportedly worked out veteran Kyle Fuller recently.
