The Green Bay Packers recently released their initial injury report for Week 15, revealing that Jaire Alexander was one of the full participants at practice last Wednesday. This is a huge development for the team since he hasn’t been one since aggravating a knee injury in Week 11.
The two-time Pro Bowler first injured his knee late in the Green Bay Packers’ win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in late October. Jaire Alexander played against the Chicago Bears after the team’s bye week but lasted only 10 snaps. He then missed games against the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, and the Detroit Lions.
Besides Jaire Alexander, the Green Bay Packers shared that Romeo Doubs was a full participant last Wednesday, but the third-year pro remains in the concussion protocol. The 24-year-old wideout has missed consecutive games since sustaining the injury against the San Francisco 49ers.
Furthermore, Evan Williams and Edgerrin Cooper practiced in a limited capacity, while Luke Musgrave is no longer on the team’s injured reserve list.
Green Bay Packers’ Matt LaFleur opens up on Jaire Alexander’s progress
Seeing Jaire Alexander back on the field is a sight for sore eyes for the Green Bay Packers. However, despite this, head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t commit to his top cornerback being ready to return against the Seattle Seahawks.
“I have to go back and watch the tape, but when I was watching him, it looked like he was moving around well,” LaFleur said via Zach Kruse of the Packers Wire. “We’ll just see how it transpires throughout the week and hopefully he’ll be ready to roll.”
Having a 100 percent fit Jaire Alexander is a major boost to the Green Bay Packers secondary since they’ll have to deal with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
