GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers are hoping rest, not surgery, will cure All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander’s injured shoulder, a potentially huge piece of good news for the team’s championship aspirations.
“I think we’ve got better clarity with that,” coach Matt LaFleur said after Friday’s practice. “It’s one of those things we’re going to let heal and see where it’s at down the line before making that determination [on surgery]. But we’re hopeful that it’ll heal the right way and he’ll be back with us in a matter of weeks.”
To be sure, the Packers and Alexander are in wait-and-see mode.
