Packers’ Jaire Alexander Out for Season Following Knee Surgery

The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback’s prolonged injury issues leave questions about his future with Green Bay.

Jaire Alexander, sidelined since Week 11 with a PCL tear, has undergone knee surgery and will not return this season.
The 27-year-old cornerback has played in only 34 of the Packers' last 68 regular-season games due to recurring injuries.
Alexander's absence adds challenges to Green Bay's playoff run, where they are currently the NFC's No. 7 seed and will need to play all postseason games on the road.
The Packers could save $6.8 million against the salary cap by releasing Alexander in the offseason, as his availability has been limited in recent years.
Green Bay is expected to explore alternative options at cornerback through the draft or free agency to bolster their defense moving forward.
