Green Bay Packers star defensive back Jaire Alexander has been inactive since the team's Week 7 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Alexander suffered a knee injury that resulted in a torn PCL in his right knee, keeping the cornerback sidelined ever since.
As the Packers kept him on the active roster, handling his injury on a week-by-week approach with the hope that he'd return this season, coach Matt LaFleur announced today that Alexander is done for the remainder of the season. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted:
"#Packers star CB Jaire Alexander, who has been dealing with a PCL tear and hasn’t played since Nov. 17, is likely out for the season, per coach Matt LaFleur. He’s set for surgery."
