Valentine registered three tackles (one solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during Green Bay's 30-13 win over Seattle this past Sunday. Valentine got the start at outside cornerback this past Sunday due to Jaire Alexander (knee) being sidelined with an injury. Valentine ended up playing 55 defensive snaps and nabbed his first interception of the regular season when he picked off a Geno Smith pass intended for Noah Fant late in the second quarter, which halted the Seahawks' red zone drive in the process. Valentine could start at outside corner opposite Keisean Nixon against the Saints on Monday if Alexander is unable to progress in his recovery enough to play.

Valentine registered three tackles (one solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during Green Bay's 30-13 win over Seattle this past Sunday. Valentine got the start at outside cornerback this past Sunday due to Jaire Alexander (knee) being sidelined with an injury. Valentine ended up playing 55 defensive snaps and nabbed his first interception of the regular season when he picked off a Geno Smith pass intended for Noah Fant late in the second quarter, which halted the Seahawks' red zone drive in the process. Valentine could start at outside corner opposite Keisean Nixon against the Saints on Monday if Alexander is unable to progress in his recovery enough to play.
Valentine recorded nine total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears. The second-year corner from Kentucky capitalized on his increased snaps with the Packers' first-team defense after Jaire Alexander exited Sunday's win due to an aggravation of his knee injury, tying Xavier McKinney as the team's leading tackler. Valentine hasn't seen much defensive work this season after being an integral part of the Packers' defense during his rookie campaign. He's posted 15 total tackles and one pass defended through Green Bay's first 10 regular-season games in 2024. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Alexander's injury is not believed to be serious, so Valentine will likely resume his role as the Packers' top backup corner in Week 12, when the 49ers visit Green Bay.
Valentine (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Valentine missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury but will return in Week 5. He'll likely start opposite Eric Stokes, as Jaire Alexander (groin) is inactive for a second straight week. Valentine drew a handful of starts last season, but he's played only 38 defensive snaps this season.
Valentine (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Valentine will miss a second straight game due to his ankle injury. While Valentine is normally only a depth player on defense, his absence versus Minnesota will be particularly notable with Jaire Alexander (quadriceps/groin) also inactive. Both will attempt to get back on the field Week 5 on the road against the Rams.
Valentine (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Titans. Valentine was considered doubtful for the matchup, so the news doesn't come as much of a surprise. His absence could lead to increased opportunities for depth corners Robert Rochell and Corey Ballentine, behind starters Eric Stokes and Jaire Alexander.
The Packers listed Valentine (ankle) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Valentine's defensive participation spiked to 57 percent of the snaps last week against the Colts after being on just 12 percent of the plays versus Philly in Week 1. Eric Stokes will have to take on a larger role alongside Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon at cornerback for Green Bay.
Valentine (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Friday's regular-season opener against Philadelphia, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Valentine was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's practice and Wednesday's estimated report due to a lingering hamstring injury from late July, but he was a full participant in Thursday's session. The 2023 seventh-round pick appears to be good to go for Friday's game, and Valentine will provide depth at corner behind starters Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes.
Valentine (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at the Packers' practice Tuesday. Valentine dealt with a hamstring issue throughout the preseason and he appears to still be working through it to open Week 1 with Green Bay. The cornerback will have two practices to return to being a full participant ahead of Friday's matchup with the Eagles in Brazil.
Valentine missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. The second-year cornerback out of Kentucky is now dealing with a hamstring issue that held him out of Wednesday's camp session. Valentine appeared in 17 games (12 starts) during his rookie campaign, recording 44 total tackles and nine passes defended. Once Valentine returns to full health, he's expected to serve as a rotational corner in the Packers' secondary.
