Packers Rule Out Jaire Alexander for Fourth Straight Game, Future Uncertain

The Green Bay cornerback's recurring injuries and high salary raise questions about his role on the team beyond this season.

Jaire Alexander, sidelined with a torn PCL since Week 8, has been ruled out for the Packers' upcoming game against the Seahawks after re-aggravating the injury in November.
Head coach Matt LaFleur cited Alexander’s inability to meet physical benchmarks in practice as the reason for the decision, aiming to avoid a repeat of his brief and unsuccessful return against Chicago.
Alexander’s injury history has been a growing concern, with the cornerback missing nearly half of Green Bay’s games since the start of the 2021 season due to various injuries.
Despite being one of the NFL’s highest-paid cornerbacks, Alexander’s declining availability and locker room issues have led to speculation about his future with the team.
The Packers could save $6.8 million in cap space by releasing Alexander in the offseason, potentially allowing them to pursue more reliable options in free agency or the draft.
