Alexander (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Alexander was forced out of Sunday's game at Chicago early with a knee injury, and now it looks like his availability for Week 12 is in jeopardy. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the 49ers.
The knee injury that knocked Alexander out of Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears is not believed to be serious, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rapoport further reported that Alexander is "going to be ok" and that Sunday's injury was a continuation of one that the cornerback had already been working through. The seventh-year pro did miss the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Lions with the injury before Green Bay's Week 10 bye. Alexander has 16 tackles (15 solo), seven passes defensed, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in seven games this season.
Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bears. Alexander may have aggravated a knee issue that caused him to be sidelined against the Lions in Week 9. With Alexander out for the remainder of Sunday's contest, Eric Stokes will see an uptick in snaps with the Packers' first-team defense opposite Keisean Nixon.
Alexander (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears. Alexander came into Sunday's game nursing a knee injury, and it appears he aggravated the issue. If he's unable to return, Eric Stokes will likely take over at corner opposite starter Keisean Nixon.
Alexander (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Alexander was unable to play against the Lions in Week 9 due to a knee injury. However, with the Packers on a bye in Week 10, Alexander took advantage of the additional rest and returned to practice this week on a limited basis. That appears to be good enough for the 2018 first-round pick to suit up for Sunday's NFC North clash.
Alexander (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Alexander missed Week 10 but looks closer to a return after getting in a round of limited practices this week. He's already missed three games to injuries this season after missing 10 during the 2023 campaign.
Alexander (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. Alexander has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. However, Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. Alexander's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bears.
Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he was optimistic Alexander (knee) would be able to play in Week 11 against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Alexander was unable to play in the Packers' last game before their bye due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 at Jacksonville, but it now seems like he could avoid missing any more game action with that issue. Green Bay's first official practice report of the week Wednesday will shed more light on his potential availability for Sunday.
Alexander (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions. Alexander injured his knee in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Jaguars and missed practice all week. Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine should see increased snaps at cornerback against Detroit.
