Green Bay Packers CB Jaire Alexander

The Green Bay Packers have listed Alexander as questionable for Week 4. The cornerback didn't participate in team practice on Monday as he continued his recovery from a back injury that he sustained in Week 2.

However, Alexander was a limited participant in training on Tuesday and Wednesday. This might be good news for the Packers, who will be eager to have the player returning to action.

Will Jaire Alexander play in Week 4?

As per the latest update Alexander will not play in Week 4. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Green Bay Packers defensive back had already reported that the CB is leaning toward being out for Thursday's game, and now he's officially out.

In Alexander's absence, either Corey Ballentine or Innis Gaines might be called up from Green Bay's practice squad.
