Estimated as DNP Alexander (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Packers' All-Pro cornerback is dealing with a tear in his PCL that's sidelined him for two of the team's last three games, and Monday's estimated DNP is likely an indication that he'll miss further time. If Alexander is unable to practice in at least a limited capacity either Tuesday or Wednesday, he'll likely be held out of the Packers' Week 13 matchup against the Dolphins on Thanksgiving Day.

Sitting out in Week 12 Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Alexander initially injured his knee near the end of the Packers' Week 8 win in Jacksonville. After sitting out Week 9 against the Lions, he was cleared to return following the team's Week 10 bye, but he lasted just 10 snaps on defense before exiting early from this past Sunday's contest at Chicago. Alexander revealed Thursday that he's tending to a "tear on my PCL" that may result in more missed games, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Alexander isn't a candidate for injured reserve, though, meaning he currently isn't expected to be sidelined for three more outings beyond Week 12.

Could miss time due to PCL injury Alexander said Thursday that he's dealing with a "tear on my PCL" and may miss some time, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alexander initially suffered the injury in the waning moments of the Packers' Week 8 win at Jacksonville, which sidelined him Week 9 against the Lions. Following a Week 10 bye, he was active this past Sunday in Chicago but lasted just 10 snaps on defense before aggravating the knee in question. With no clear timetable for a return to action, Alexander may miss his fourth game of the campaign Sunday versus the 49ers, which would allow Keisean Nixon and Carrington Vaentine to start at cornerback for Green Bay.

Impact Alexander was forced out of Sunday's game at Chicago early with a knee injury, and now it looks like his availability for Week 12 is in jeopardy. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the 49ers.

Avoids serious injury The knee injury that knocked Alexander out of Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears is not believed to be serious, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rapoport further reported that Alexander is "going to be ok" and that Sunday's injury was a continuation of one that the cornerback had already been working through. The seventh-year pro did miss the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Lions with the injury before Green Bay's Week 10 bye. Alexander has 16 tackles (15 solo), seven passes defensed, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in seven games this season.

Won't return vs. Chicago Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Will play vs. Chicago Alexander (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Alexander was unable to play against the Lions in Week 9 due to a knee injury. However, with the Packers on a bye in Week 10, Alexander took advantage of the additional rest and returned to practice this week on a limited basis. That appears to be good enough for the 2018 first-round pick to suit up for Sunday's NFC North clash.

Limited Wednesday Alexander (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Alexander has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. However, Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return to the field. Alexander's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bears.

Hopeful to play at Chicago Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he was optimistic Alexander (knee) would be able to play in Week 11 against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alexander was unable to play in the Packers' last game before their bye due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 at Jacksonville, but it now seems like he could avoid missing any more game action with that issue. Green Bay's first official practice report of the week Wednesday will shed more light on his potential availability for Sunday.

Impact Alexander was unable to practice all week after sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. However, Friday's injury report indicates that the veteran corner still has a chance to suit up in Week 9. If Alexander is sidelined Sunday, Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine (ankle) could see increased work with the Packers' first-team defense.

Opens week as DNP Alexander (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Alexander opening Green Bay's week of practice as a DNP comes as no surprise, as the All-Pro cornerback sustained a knee injury late in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars.

Past groin issue Alexander (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Alexander was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he practiced in full Friday, indicating that he's moved past his groin injury. The All-Pro cornerback helped hold Stefon Diggs to five catches for just 23 yards against the Texans in Week 7. Alexander will have his hands full again Sunday, as rookie Brian Thomas currently ranks sixth in the NFL with 513 receiving yards through seven games.

Limited to open week Alexander (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session.

Impact It's not much of a surprise to see Alexander on the Packers' injury report, given that he's played through a groin issue over the last two weeks. Unless he downgrades to a DNP over the next two practices, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Alexander played every single defensive snap during the Packers' win over the Texans on Sunday, picking up three solo tackles in the process.
