GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer’s first start since 2020 will come against a Green Bay Packers secondary that’s missing star cornerback Jaire Alexander.
The Packers included Alexander among their list of inactive players for Sunday afternoon’s game. Alexander had been listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report after he injured his groin early in the Packers’ 14-12 victory at Tampa Bay.
Hoyer is starting in place of Mac Jones, who injured his left ankle last week in a 37-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
