Alexander was a full participant in all of Green Bay's practice sessions last week. Hence, there is a possibility that he could return to action Monday. However, the Packers are yet to confirm whether Alexader will play against New Orleans.

On Saturday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur addressed Alexander's chances of playing in Week 16, suggesting that the team might make a late decision on the two-time Pro Bowler.

Alexander injured his knee in the first half of Green Bay's 20-19 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. He exited the game and did not return. It was later reported that the cornerback had suffered a torn PCL.

Due to his knee injury, Alexander was sidelined for the Packers' next four games. It remains to be seen whether he will make a return against New Orleans.
