The Green Bay Packers and Jaire Alexander have decided against shoulder surgery - for now - leaving open the possibility that the All Pro cornerback could play again this season.

Jaire Alexander has to be happy about this. Report was that surgery means potential long-term issues. Healing on it's own is best option for the person.

Unfortunately he's still probably going to be out for awhile.

Hoping Jaire can come back healthy this year and most importantly avoid long term damage.

I think it's no surgery for now, as it still has to heal properly, and of it doesn't, surgery is still in his future.

I think we'll see them put Alexander on the IR, because the current IR rules let him miss 3 games and come back.

And since I had an AC joint injury, and I think his might be worse than mine (they didn't even consider Surgery on mine), I feel comfortable saying, I'm pretty sure he'll miss at least two week, and probably three. And wouldn't be surprised if four, as it took me about a month to heal.

But if he's not put on the IR, that will bring the question, do they think he might be back in three games?

Though could also mean they think it will clearly be more, so putting him on the IR right away doesn't matter.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him on IR either. Next three games he's not that needed VS rest of season and playoffs and longterm.

Anybody worried that they will rush him back for the last dance season? Then Russ Ball low balls him in the off season and Alexander becomes disgruntled. And then he leaves for someone who will pay him the cost of a top flight corner.

Though if they normally do it on Saturdays (like they did for Dafney and MVS) to start it, and pick someone up the following week, so if they're going to put Alexander on the IR, we should be hearing about it today.

What the Packers have to figure before 2022 season is Rodgers, Cobb and Preston Smith contract situations, meaning either extend, release or trade those contracts, as they're currently written, I don't believe they're not likely to last. Also maybe figure out Z Smith contract depending on his back injury.

Packers 2022 FAs include (Note I'm not going to list the ERFAs, because they're cheaper contracts and Packers 100% keep them if they want them)

WR Adams
WR MVS
WR Lazard (RFA, so likely gets a one year tender like Tonyan did this year)
TE Tonyan

OG Patrick
OT Kelly

DT Lancaster
ILB Campbell
ILB Jaylon Smith
ILB Burks

CB King
CB Sullivan
CB Yiadom
CB Douglas (new CB we signed off Cardinals PS)
S Redmond

P Bojorquez (please resign)
LS Bradley

Clearly depth at receiver, ILB and CB will be hurt in the coming FA as we're tight on cap and can't resign guys. Possible OLB too with both OLB Smith contracts as possible need adjusting. And DL could be improved in general.

So I'm expecting a defensive draft with a receiver in the top 3 rounds and yes I know the draft isn't about needs, but it kinda is at least they often grab guys at needed positions the following year, especially after the first round.
