Alexander, who came off injured reserve on Wednesday, was already ruled out for Sunday’s game on Friday. The Packers’ All-Pro cornerback is still recovering from the shoulder injury suffered in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He won’t appear on the inactive list Sunday, but Alexander would have been inactive either way.

Alexander joins defensive lineman Kingsley Keke and receiver Amari Rodgers as the only active players on the COVID-19 reserve list for the Packers. Outside linebacker Chauncey Rivers, who is on injured reserve, and three practice squad players are also on the COVID-19 reserve list as of Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers activated four players from the COVID-19 reserve list on Tuesday. Safety Darnell Savage, defensive lineman Kingsley Keke, receiver Amari Rodgers and offensive tackle Dennis Kelly all came off the list and were reinstated to the 53-man roster.

Practice squad cornerback Jayson Stanley was also activated, but he was immediately released.

Savage and Kelly were both placed on the reserve list on Monday but were able to get clearance in just one day. Keke and Rodgers both missed Sunday’s win over the Minnesota Vikings while on the list.

All four should be available when the Packers play the Detroit Lions on Sunday in the season finale. Three of the four are starters, and Rodgers is the top option on the depth chart at returner.

The Packers have just two active roster players on the COVID-19 reserve list currently: cornerback Jaire Alexander and offensive tackle Billy Turner, who was added to the list on Tuesday.

Receiver David Moore, kicker JJ Molson and linebacker Ray Wilborn remain on the COVID-19 reserve list for practice squad players.

Alright, I'm very confused on the Covid rules now, I thought they had a 5 day minimum stay on the Covid list?

But Savage and Kelly got put on the list and the next day was taken off the list? And he could of waited 5 days and still played in the game so they didn't have to rush them back. Was there an error in the test or something?

Anyways off the Covid list is DL Kingsley Keke, T Dennis Kelly, WR Amari Rodgers and S Darnell Savage

But G/T Billy Turner placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list:

And the team released CB Jayson Stanley and G/T Jon Dietzen from the PS.
