Jaire Alexander, Packers’ cornerback
ARLINGTON, Texas: Starting cornerback for the Green Bay Packers Jaire Alexander is set to play in the wild-card playoff game against Dallas despite spraining his ankle during practice earlier in the week.
Coach Matt LaFleur described the injury as “weird” after Alexander accidentally stepped on a teammate’s foot. The two-time Pro Bowler is now listed as questionable heading into a season that has been marked by a series of on-again, off-again moments for him.
Alexander missed 10 games of the regular season, with nine of those absences due to back and shoulder injuries. Additionally, he served a suspension in his final season due to an incident in his hometown of Charlotte, where he interfered with the coin toss, nearly jeopardizing the Packers’ possession to start both halves.
It remains uncertain how the injury will affect the Packers’ strategy of assigning Alexander to cover Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb, who set NFL-best records with 135 catches and 1,749 yards in a season for the Cowboys.
Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith is set to return after sitting out due to a plantar fascia injury in the regular season finale against Washington, a game they won 38-10.
Green Bay wide receiver Christian Watson, who had three touchdowns in the Packers’ win over the Cowboys during coach Mike McCarthy’s return to Lambeau Field last season, is back in action after missing the last five games with a hamstring injury. Have come.
Packers receiver Romeo Dobbs is available to play despite a chest injury that left him hospitalized during last weekend’s 17-9 win against Chicago.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott’s backup Cooper Rush has been cleared to play despite initially being listed as questionable due to illness.
