2024 Jaire Alexander injury

Matt LaFleur asked point blank if #Packers have any expectation for Jaire Alexander to play again this season: "Yeah, I don't know. As soon as I know, I'll let you guys know."

Matt LaFleur continued on Jaire Alexander asked if there is a difference of opinion between him and Packers on whether he's able to play with knee: "I can't really get into all that. I do know he's been dealing with swelling, and he doesn't feel right to go out there and play."

We can think this is all weird, or we can consider a CB that is not a huge guy needs his knees healthy to play.

I'm not really sure where I land yet.

Sounds like Bakhtiari's situation

Had to trade All-Pro WR.
Had to trade All-Pro QB.
Had to release All-Pro LB.
Had to release All-Pro LT.

Might have to trade/release All-Pro CB?

I would feel amazing walking and then would run and cut and felt like my knee was baby strength. I was in my late 30's so it's not like I was an athlete, but definitely can relate to something feeling OK with the day to day stuff and then KAPOW right in the kisser when you try to work out.

I realize it happens to every team but it is so disappointing when the Packers lose a player, perhaps for the rest of his career. He was nearly a $24 mil cap hit this year. If he can't play they have a $19 mil cap hit next year. If he does play them he's almost a $26 mil cap hit. My guess is if they feels he is completely healthy they pay him. If he is diminished even 20% they take the hit. The third option is to stick a couple of more void years on to his contract. He already has one void year.

I thought the way MLF responded was pretty telling. I get the sense that the organization feels he can play but Alexander isn’t feeling the same way, allegedly. He could’ve nipped that in the bud but he didn’t.
