The Green Bay Packers are unsure if they’ll have star cornerback Jaire Alexander for Saturday night’s divisional game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Per head coach Matt LaFleur, Alexander is “questionable” but they hope he’ll be ready to go.

Alexander has been battling an ankle injury after he got hurt during practice last week. He was still able to play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys but did tweak the injury during the game.
Despite hurting his ankle again, Alexander did finish the game with with seven total tackles (three solo), an interception, and a pass defended.
The Packers will have to hope that he’s good to go for Saturday’s game since he’s their top cornerback. He’s the guy that takes the assignment of the opposing team’s best wideout.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET and it’ll be nationally televised by FOX. Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen, and Erin Andrews will have the call.
