There will be no guessing game before the inactive list comes out on Monday night: the Green Bay Packers downgraded cornerback Jaire Alexander from questionable to out for Week 14 vs. the New York Giants. Alexander will miss his fifth consecutive game after injuring his shoulder during a win over the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 5. He had been listed as questionable in four consecutive weeks before his status was changed to out on Sunday. Alexander, a two-time All-Pro, has played in only five games this season: Week 1 at Chicago, Week 2 at Atlanta, Week 5 at Las Vegas, Week 8 vs. Minnesota and Week 9 vs. Los Angeles. He played 332 defensive snaps, or 95 percent of the defense’s snaps, over the five games. Alexander has four pass breakups and a tackle for loss in 2023. The Packers will be expected to start rookie Carrington Valentine and Corey Ballentine on the perimeter at cornerback with Keisean Nixon in the slot against the Giants. Alexander joins receiver Christian Watson as the two players ruled out for the Packers. Linebacker Quay Walker is doubtful to play, and three others are questionable.
