Packers' Jaire Alexander's Playoff Availability in Doubt After Ankle Injury

Star cornerback's status remains day-to-day following 'freak deal' injury during practice, potentially impacting Packers' defense against Cowboys' high-powered offense.

  • Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander suffered an ankle injury during a jog-through practice, putting his availability for the upcoming wild-card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys in doubt.
  • Alexander, who has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, has only played seven games this season due to various injuries and a suspension.
  • Packers coach Matt LaFleur described the injury as a 'freak deal' and stated that Alexander is doing everything he can to be available for the game, but his status remains day-to-day.
  • If Alexander is unable to play, Corey Ballentine, who has started six games this season, is likely to be elevated into the starting lineup.
  • The Packers, who have the youngest roster in the NFL, will face one of the better wide receivers in the NFL, CeeDee Lamb, in the upcoming game.
