Ian Rapoport reports that the Packers are placing CB Jaire Alexander on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the next four games.
He recently had a knee scope and also was dealing with a PCL sprain. There is still a chance he could return if the Packers make it to the Super Bowl.
The team is also elevating LB Michael Barrett and S Omar Brown for Week 18.
Alexander, 27, is the former 18th overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Packers. He was entering the fourth year of a four-year, $12.050 million rookie deal that included a $6.844 million signing bonus before Green Bay picked up his option.
Alexander was set to make a fully guaranteed base salary of $13.294 million in 2022 under the fifth-year option when the Packers signed him to a four-year, $84 million extension.
In 2024, Alexander appeared in seven games for the Packers and made seven starts, recording 16 tackles, a fumble recovery, two interceptions, one defensive touchdown, and seven pass defenses.
We will have more news on Alexander when it becomes available.
