Alexander (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Alexander has missed the Packers' last four games due to a PCL injury in his knee that he suffered against the Bears in Week 11. He was able to log full practices last week, and while he didn't play against the Seahawks this past Sunday, he is on track to play against the Saints on Monday.
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday that Alexander (knee) won't play in Sunday night's matchup against the Seahawks, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Alexander practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday; however, LaFleur told reporters Friday that he didn't feel the All-Pro corner was ready to return based off what he observed at practice throughout the week. The Louisville product is now set to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, with Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine expected to serve as Green Bay's top outside cornerback duo until Alexander recovers from his PCL injury.
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that Alexander (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Alexander has missed four of the Packers' last five games after sustaining a partially torn PCL in a Week 8 win over the Jaguars. He practiced in full Wednesday for the first time since sustaining the injury, suggesting that the All-Pro will return for the Packers' Week 15 matchup against the Seahawks. Alexander is now expected to start opposite Keisean Nixon as part of Green Bay's top outside cornerback duo Sunday night.
Alexander (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Alexander appeared to be on track to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup after opening the Packers' week of practice with consecutive estimated limited sessions. However, he downgraded to no participation Wednesday, suggesting that his knee injury remains too significant for him to play in Week 14. The Packers are expected to continue starting Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine as their top outside cornerbacks until Alexander recovers from his knee issue.
Alexander (knee) was a limited participant in Monday's practice. Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported earlier Monday that Alexander was practicing, but the Packers' injury report clarified that it was a limited session. The All-Pro cornerback has missed three of Green Bay's last four games due to a partial tear in his PCL; however, Wednesday's limited session suggests he has a shot at returning for the Week 14 divisional matchup against the Lions.
Alexander (knee) is practicing Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Alexander has now logged back-to-back practices ahead of the Packers' divisional showdown with the Lions on Thursday. The Louisville product has missed Green Bay's last two games due to the injury but may be trending in the right direction to suit up for Week 14. A decision on his status for the game likely won't come until closer to kickoff though.
Alexander (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Dolphins, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Alexander is now in line to miss his fifth game of the season after sustaining a knee injury in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. Green Bay's secondary could struggle without Alexander, especially against a Dolphins offense averaging 255.4 passing yards and 2.2 passing touchdowns per game since Tua Tagovailoa returned from injury in Week 8. The Packers are expected to start Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine as their top outside corners in Thursday night's contest.
Alexander (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. The Packers' All-Pro cornerback is dealing with a tear in his PCL that's sidelined him for two of the team's last three games, and Monday's estimated DNP is likely an indication that he'll miss further time. If Alexander is unable to practice in at least a limited capacity either Tuesday or Wednesday, he'll likely be held out of the Packers' Week 13 matchup against the Dolphins on Thanksgiving Day.
Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Alexander initially injured his knee near the end of the Packers' Week 8 win in Jacksonville. After sitting out Week 9 against the Lions, he was cleared to return following the team's Week 10 bye, but he lasted just 10 snaps on defense before exiting early from this past Sunday's contest at Chicago. Alexander revealed Thursday that he's tending to a "tear on my PCL" that may result in more missed games, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Alexander isn't a candidate for injured reserve, though, meaning he currently isn't expected to be sidelined for three more outings beyond Week 12.
