In a significant blow to their playoff hopes, the Green Bay Packers have placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on injured reserve following knee surgery. This unfortunate development comes just ahead of the postseason, leaving the team to adjust without their All-Pro defensive player. Sources indicate that Alexander, who underwent arthroscopic surgery, is expected to miss the remainder of the season. In response to this setback, the Packers have elevated LB Michael Barrett and S Omar Brown from the practice squad for their upcoming game against the Bears. As the team navigates this challenging situation, they must rely on other players, including Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine, to step up in the defense. The organization is now looking towards options for cornerback, highlighting the pressing need for reinforcements during the offseason.
