Alexander

Alexander has been mostly sidelined since Week 8. Coach Matt LaFleur claimed earlier this week that Alexander is “progressing.” He has 10 more days to get right ahead of Week 15 against the Seahawks.

Alexander is still working his way back from a tear in his PCL. He went down with the injury in Week 8, briefly returned two games later, but has been out ever since. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper has also been ruled out for Week 14. The Lions should keep the points machine humming versus a banged-up Packers defense this week.

Alexander was spotted at practice by reporters earlier today for a second-straight day, but the Packers apparently want to do a full assessment of how he looks in practice before they decide if he’ll play on Thursday night. Alexander has missed three of the last four games and only played 10 snaps against the Bears in the game he started before LaFleur sat him back down. It sounds like Alexander has a chance to be a game-time decision for Week 14.

Myers was questionable for the contest with his left wrist injury, but he’ll able to go for the primetime contest. The Packers inactives for Thursday’s tilt are CB Jaire Alexander, WR Romeo Doubs, LB Edgerrin Cooper and OL Jacob Monk.

No surprise, clearing the protocol would have always been tough on a short week. Dontayvion Wicks will get a role elevation in Week 13 and be a potential FLEX option without Doubs. The Packers also ruled out Jaire Alexander (knee) and Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) for Thursday night.

Alexander was listed as DNP for the second straight day in the Packers’ estimated practice report for Tuesday’s walk-through. He has remained out while recovering from a torn PCL he suffered earlier in the season. With a pair of DNPs to start the week, expect Alexander to miss the Packers’ Thanksgiving showdown against the Dolphins while remaining out indefinitely.

Alexander remains out indefinitely as he recovers from a torn PCL. Fortunately, Josh Jacobs (quad/calf) is active on the offensive side of the ball. He should be a featured member of the game plan as the Packers attempt to control possession time against their injury-weakened opponent. The Packers also declared S Kitan Oladapo, LB Edgerrin Cooper and OL Jacob Monk inactive.

Alexander suffered a knee injury in Week 8’s win over the Jaguars and has played sparingly in just one game since his injury. Alexander missed Week 9’s game against the Lions but was active in last week’s win over the Bears. However, he played only 10 defensive snaps before being ruled out for the remainder of the game, and has been a DNP in both practices to start this week. It sounds like Alexander will take as much time as needed to recover from his injury, but surgery does not appear to be on the table at this time.

Alexander left Week 10’s game against the Bears with a knee issue and did not return. He suited up for the matchup despite being questionable with the knee issue but it clearly didn’t respond well and he exited early. A DNP on Wednesday after the bye week suggest Alexander is out for Week 12.

He was initially deemed questionable to return, but Packers coach Matt LaFleur told Erin Andrews that he did not think Alexander was going to play in the second half. Then he was ruled out. Alexander was active off the questionable line but left early in the first half. This looks like it’s going to continue to plague Alexander throughout the second half of the season.
