Return of Packers CB Jaire Alexander not imminent

The Green Bay Packers still like the progress being made by cornerback Jaire Alexander in his recovery from a shoulder injury, but the All-Pro’s return to the field isn’t imminent.

Coach Matt LaFleur provided a quick update on Alexander on Thursday.

“It’s going good, but it’s still a long way out,” LaFleur said.

Alexander was present but not participating at practice on Wednesday, which suggested he might be inching closer to a return. LaFleur shot down that idea.

“No, Ja has been around, quite a bit. The plan is to continue to strengthen and allow his shoulder to heal.
