The Green Bay Packers will be without cornerback Jaire Alexander, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, and wide receiver Romeo Doubs in their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The team announced the decision Wednesday as they prepare for a pivotal Week 13 contest at Lambeau Field.
Alexander, a key piece of the Packers’ secondary, was ruled out after not participating in practice throughout the week. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reported earlier that Alexander’s absence in practice raised concerns about his availability. This will mark the second consecutive game Alexander will miss, following his absence in the Packers’ Week 12 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
