3 years agoGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Tuesday that he wouldn't anticipate cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) or left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) playing on Christmas Day this Saturday against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Alexander, one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, has been out since Week 4, while Bakhtiari has yet to play at all in 2021 after tearing his ACL last season and undergoing another knee procedure on Nov. 23. The Packers have no reason to rush either player back since they've already clinched a postseason berth. Green Bay's defense has held up nicely with Alexander on the shelf thanks to impressive rookie Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
