The Green Bay Packers will enter their must-win matchup with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17 without one of their most important players.
They’re doing it voluntarily, too!
Green Bay suspended cornerback Jaire Alexander on Wednesday, handing down a one-game punishment for “conduct detrimental to the team.” The NFL is no stranger to these sort of suspensions, especially this season, but the Packers’ reason is one that might just make you laugh.
Alexander decided to crash the captains meeting at midfield prior to Green Bay’s victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, and almost cost the Packers a possession in the process.
