The Green Bay Packers placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on injured reserve on Saturday following a surgery on Alexander’s injured knee earlier this week. The two-time All-Pro cornerback — who will miss his 10th game of the season on Sunday — must sit at least four games before he’s eligible to return.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Alexander could return for the Super Bowl if the Packers advance that far. Alexander would miss Sunday’s regular season finale, plus the wildcard, divisional and conference championship games in the postseason.
Alexander suffered a sprained PCL late in the Packers’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct.
