GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jaire Alexander's strange season has taken another turn. Three days after he anointed himself as one of the Green Bay Packers' captains -- and then made what coach Matt LaFleur called "a big mistake" by nearly botching the call after winning the coin toss -- he was suspended on Wednesday for one game by the team.

He was placed on the reserve/suspended list for what the team called "conduct determinantal to the team."

"The decision to suspend a player is never easy and not one we take lightly," Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said in a statement.
