Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander underwent surgery on his injured right knee and will miss the rest of the season, head coach Matt LaFleur announced on Wednesday. The Packers still have their Week 18 regular season finale versus the Chicago Bears and will be in the playoffs as the NFC's No. 7 seed.
Alexander had arthroscopic surgery performed on Tuesday to alleviate pain and swelling, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. The hope is that he can return if the Packers advance to the Super Bowl.
The seven-year veteran has been out since Week 11 with a torn PCL in his right knee.
