Without Alexander, the Packers will likely roll with some combination of Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes at perimeter cornerback and Nixon and Javon Bullard in the slot. The Packers are hopeful Williams can return from a quad injury to start the postseason. He’d start next to Pro Bowler Xavier McKinney at safety.

The oft-injured veteran had a procedure done on his knee Tuesday. Alexander has two years remaining on a four-year, $84 million extension he signed in 2022.

The Green Bay Packers apparently will have to make their entire postseason run without two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander.
