Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated on Wednesday that cornerback Jaire Alexander will practice in individual drills for the first time in two months. Alexander, a 2020 All-Pro, suffered a shoulder injury late in the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading to his placement on the injured reserve list. On Monday, LaFleur said there was a possibility that Alexander, tackle David Bakhtiari and outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith could all return to practice this week, though he stated today that only Alexander would practice on Wednesday.
With Alexander returning to the practice field, this kicks off his 21-day window to practice while still on the injured reserve list, meaning that he will be activated by December 28th, if at all this season.
