Jaire Alexander, the cornerback for the Green Bay Packers, has been struggling with a right knee injury, specifically a torn PCL, which he sustained on October 28 during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After leaving the game against the Jaguars, Alexander missed the following Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions and attempted to return in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, but had to exit early after just 10 snaps.

In addition to his recent knee injury, Alexander has a history of health issues, having missed games in Weeks 4 and 5 due to groin and quadriceps problems.

His injury struggles have been ongoing; since the start of the 2021 season, Alexander has played in only 34 of 61 possible games, including a shoulder injury that limited him to just four games in 2021.

Alexander indicated that he requires more than 21 days of non-contact recovery, suggesting that the three weeks he has had so far is insufficient for proper rehabilitation.

As of midweek, Alexander did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, raising further doubts about his availability for the upcoming game.

He had hoped to make an impact after the bye week but faced a game-time decision regarding his participation against the Bears.

If Alexander is unable to play in the next game against the 49ers, second-year player Carrington Valentine is expected to start in his place.
