suffered an ankle injury in practice this week that leaves his status uncertain for Sunday’s wild-card playoff game with the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Alexander “stepped on somebody’s foot and rolled his ankle” during Wednesday’s practice, which was mostly a jog-through. Alexander didn’t practice Thursday.
“It was kind of a freak deal,” LaFleur said.
The Packers (9-8) certainly could use Alexander as they try to contain Pro Bowl receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had an NFL-leading 135 catches for the Cowboys (12-5) and ranked second in the league with 1,749 yards receiving during the regular season.
