Overview

• 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.
