Jaire Alexander injury update: Packers CB status revealed on final injury report vs. Bears

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander will be active during Sunday’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, according to the team’s final injury report for Week 11.

Alexander had been dealing with a knee injury and was forced to miss the Packers’ last game against the Detroit Lions before their bye week. Safety Evan Williams is also active after being listed as questionable during the week.

Below is the Green Bay Packers final inactives:

CB Robert Rochell

T Travis Glover
DL Colby Wooden

Chicago Bears final inactives:

OL Kiran Amegadjie
OL Teven Jenkins
CB Ameer Speed

Alexander, who is a two-time Pro Bowler, has appeared in six of Green Bay’s nine games this season. The 27-year-old has tallied 16 tackles (15 solo), seven passes defended, two interceptions and one pick six. While he was sidelined, Green Bay has gone with Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine as its starting corners.

It’s unclear how much Alexander will be able to play during the contest, or if Stokes and Valentine will help split time as he gets back out onto the field after a prolonged absence thanks to the bye week.

Alexander is in the midst of his seventh season in the NFL after being drafted in the sefirstond round of thw 2018 NFL Draft. He was selected No. 18 overall and when healthy, has been a vital piece to the Packers’ secondary since his arrival.

On the other side of the ball, Bears EDGE Montez Sweat is active after being labeled as questionable while dealing with an ankle injury.

The opening kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET live from inside Soldier Field as the Packers look to get back on the right track after losing its last time out to the Detroit Lions.

Green Bay is a 5.5-point betting favorite over the Bears, who are looking to climb back to .500 with a win against the Packers on Sunday.
