The Green Bay Packers are headed to the NFL playoffs regardless of the outcome of their upcoming game in Week 18 against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field. However, the Packers will also be playing the rest of their 2024 campaign, including the postseason, without one of their best defensive weapons, with cornerback Jaire Alexander done for the rest of the season.
Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur shared on Wednesday that Alexander’s 2024 season is over, as the defensive back is expected to go under the knife to address his knee injury.
“Packers HC Matt LaFleur says CB Jaire Alexander (PCL tear) will undergo surgery and likely be out for season.”
