Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander went down early on in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a groin injury, but was able to practice in the Packers’ “jogthrough” practice on Wednesday. Unfortunately, he was held out of participation on Thursday when Green Bay put their shoulder pads on again.
Alexander was replaced by slot cornerback Rasul Douglas as an outside cornerback versus Tampa Bay and special teamer Keisean Nixon came off the bench to replace Douglas in the slot on Sunday. In the pre-practice presser, head coach Matt LaFleur stated that Alexander looked good “for what they asked” on Wednesday, with Alexander’s status for Week 4 being very much in the air.
