Report: Jaire Alexander Isn't Seen as 'Problem Child' by Packers amid Suspension

The Green Bay Packers reportedly don't anticipate having any long-term issues with star cornerback Jaire Alexander after suspending him for Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Packers don't view Alexander as a "problem child" and look forward to having him back in the lineup for their Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears.

The Packers suspended Alexander for their Week 17 game against the Vikings for conduct detrimental to the team after he went to midfield for the opening coin toss against the Carolina Panthers despite not being chosen by head coach Matt LaFleur as a captain for the game.
