Packers president on Jaire Alexander: 'Unfortunately, just injured a lot'

Green Bay Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy acknowledged the elite talent of cornerback Jaire Alexander but said "a lot" of injuries ultimately led to the decision to release him this offseason.

Alexander, who will be released on Monday, missed games or practices due to shoulder, knee, groin and back injuries since 2021.

"He's been a great player for us. Obviously, elite talent. Unfortunately, just injured a lot. That's, unfortunately, a big part of our game," Murphy told Dave Schroeder of WBAY-TV in Green Bay.

Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro, missed 13 games in 2021, 10 games in 2023 and 10 more games in 2024.
