Packers CB Jaire Alexander to miss 4th straight game Sunday night against Chiefs
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay’s defense gets linebacker De’Vondre Campbell back from a neck injury but will be missing cornerback Jaire Alexander for a fourth straight game when the Packers host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.
Alexander continues to deal with a shoulder injury. He had been listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.
The Packers also won’t have running back Aaron Jones (knee) or tight end Josiah Deguara (hip) for a second straight week. The Packers already had ruled Jones out on Friday.
Campbell had missed the Packers’ 29-22 Thanksgiving Day victory at Detroit because of his neck issue.
