Packers: Jaire Alexander’s status for London game trending in right direction
Green Bay Packers All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander didn’t play last week against the New England Patriots, but the injury report looks encouraging ahead of Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.
The Packers practiced on Thursday before making their trip to London.
According to the team’s injury report, Alexander was a full participant at practice, which is a great sign three days out from the game. He had been limited on Wednesday.
To practice in full this early in the week is an encouraging sign, and hopefully means he’ll be ready to start against the Giants at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Adrian Amos was upgraded to limited practice after not practicing on Wednesday. Hopefully that’s also a positive step towards returning this week.
The only concern on the injury report is Devonte Wyatt’s injury, as he went from a limited participant on Wednesday to not practicing on Thursday. Hopefully it was just a rest day for the rookie defensive lineman. We’ll find out his status on Friday’s final injury report.
The Giants are dealing with a number of injuries. They had six players not at practice on Thursday. Quarterback Daniel Jones was limited for the second consecutive day.
On Friday, both teams will release their final injury report of the week, giving an indication of which players will be available.
The Packers make their way to London on Thursday night, arriving on Friday morning UK time. They will quickly need to adjust to the six-hour time difference in preparation for Sunday’s game in Tottenham.
