Jaire Alexander Undergoes Surgery for Knee Injury

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury that has plagued him since November. Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Alexander underwent arthroscopic surgery to address a torn posterior cruciate ligament, and he is unlikely to return unless the Packers reach the Super Bowl. Alexander has missed seven of the last eight games, only playing briefly in Week 11, and has been sidelined for a total of six consecutive games. His absence poses a significant challenge for the Packers, who are currently vying for a wild card playoff spot. The team ranks 17th in the NFL for passing yards allowed, and Alexander’s departure exacerbates their defensive vulnerabilities. Despite this, safety Xavier McKinney expresses confidence in the remaining defensive roster's capabilities.
