Undergoes surgery Tuesday Alexander had arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Alexander hasn't played since Week 11, and he ultimately elected to have surgery to reduce the pain and swelling in his right knee. Schefter notes that the star cornerback could be able to return for the Super Bowl if Green Bay advances that far. Carrington Valentine will likely continue to work in a starting role due to Alexander's absence.

Needs knee surgery Alexander will soon undergo knee surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Packers' top cornerback will finish the year having played 14 of a possible 34 regular-season games over the past two years, held back by injuries to his back, shoulder, groin and now knee. His most recent appearance was Week 11, and he's played just 10 snaps on defense since Week 8. The Packers have mostly played well on defense this season, but their subpar cornerback group could be a problem come playoff time.
