Without Alexander, the Packers will likely roll with some combination of Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes at perimeter cornerback and Nixon and Javon Bullard in the slot. The Packers are hopeful Williams can return from a quad injury to start the postseason. He’d start next to Pro Bowler Xavier McKinney at safety.

The Packers will have a decision to make whether to keep the oft-injured Jaire Alexander next season. Their current cornerback position is not deep.

Everyone other than me seems to have a take on whether cornerback Jaire Alexander will be back with the Green Bay Packers. I’m just not sold on either side of the debate. Yes, the fact that Alexander has only played 34 games over the last four seasons — about half of the games available — is less than ideal.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander had arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee and is likely to miss the rest of the 2024 season, although Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Alexander could possibly return if the Packers make the Super Bowl in February.

The Green Bay Packers are coming off a tough road loss to the Minnesota Vikings last week. The Packers did not have starting wide receiver Christian Watson and All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander, who were both nursing various injuries.
