CARRINGTON VALENTINE NEWS

Impresses in Week 11 Valentine recorded nine total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears.

Impact The second-year corner from Kentucky capitalized on his increased snaps with the Packers' first-team defense after Jaire Alexander exited Sunday's win due to an aggravation of his knee injury, tying Xavier McKinney for the team's leading tackler. Valentine hasn't seen much defensive work this season after being an integral part of the Packers' defense during his rookie campaign. He's posted 15 total tackles and one pass defended through Green Bay's first 10 regular-season games in 2024. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Alexander's injury is not believed to be serious, so Valentine will likely resume his role as the Packers' top backup corner in Week 12, when the 49ers visit Green Bay.

Impact Valentine was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's practice and Wednesday's estimated report due to a lingering hamstring injury from late July, but he was a full participant in Thursday's session.

Earns starting role as rookie Valentine tallied 44 tackles (33 solo), nine pass deflections and a fumble recovery over 17 games in the 2023 season.

Impact The Packers saw enough from the seventh-rounder to give him a relatively-permanent starting spot midway through his rookie season, and he held his own in the defensive backfield. Green Bay will almost certainly be adding players at the cornerback position, so it remains to be seen what role Valentine will fill in his second campaign.

Moving to backup role Valentine will work as a backup Sunday against Carolina with Jaire Alexander returning to action for the first time since Week 9, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Valentine held down a starting role from Week 9 to Week 15 while Alexander and Eric Stokes both missed substantial time due to injuries. However, both Alexander and Stokes are now healthy and will take the field together Sunday for the first time all season, leaving Valentine to work in a backup role. Valentine may also see some work in the slot, though he's played just 16 snaps there so far this season.
