The Green Bay Packers had a “freak” injury Wednesday
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur clarified Alexander’s injury following practice Thursday. According to Rob Demovsky with ESPN, LaFleur said Alexander is day-to-day due to a “freak deal” where the star cornerback rolled his ankle after he stepped on someone’s foot.
Matt LaFleur said Jaire Alexander had “kind of a freak deal yesterday … stepped on someone’s foot and rolled an ankle.”
Yesterday was a jog-through.
LaFleur said he’s considered day to day and they thought it was best if he didn’t go today.

The Packers don’t want Alexander limping on the field Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Alexander needs to be in top condition to keep up with Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Lamb has 1,749 yards receiving for 12 touchdowns this season.
Lamb is coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Washington Commanders in Week 18. He recorded 227 receiving yards the week before against the Detroit Lions.
