Cheese Curds, 1/12: Packers’ defense will have a long day if Jaire Alexander can’t play

The Green Bay Packers already have a major weakness that the Dallas Cowboys can exploit. With the team already struggling to defend the pass — particularly against receivers who line up in the slot or run routes over the middle of the field — the last thing they could afford in a matchup with CeeDee Lamb is to have their top cornerback miss Sunday’s game.

Unfortunately, that scenario may well become a reality on Sunday after Jaire Alexander had to sit out Thursday’s practice. He was held out after rolling his ankle on Wednesday during the team’s jog-through practice, an injury that resulted from him accidentally stepping on a teammate.
