Week 5 injury report: Jaire Alexander could return “in a matter of weeks,” avoids immediate surgery

Following Friday’s practice, Packers head coach Matt Lafleur told the press that the plan for Jaire Alexander’s shoulder injury is to wait off on surgery, which likely would be season-ending, and hope that the cornerback’s shoulder heals on its own. LaFleur stated, “We got better clarity with that. We’re going to let it heal and see where it’s at. We’re hopeful it’ll heal the right way and he’ll be back with us in a matter of weeks.”

The severity of Alexander’s shoulder injury has been a question this week, as LaFleur told the press on Monday that he would have an update for them on Wednesday.
