As the Green Bay Packers gear up for a crucial stretch in the season, a promising development unfolds on the injury front. Following a triumphant three-game winning streak, the Packers now control their fate in the NFC, securing the seventh playoff seed with a 6-6 record.
The recent defensive prowess showcased by the Packers is a significant factor in their resurgence. In the last three matchups against the Chargers, Lions, and Chiefs, the defense has held opponents to an impressive 20.3 points per game – a figure that aligns with their season-long average. This defensive performance currently ranks ninth in the NFL, and now, there’s potential for a key player’s return.
According to a report from Ryan Wood of USA Today Sports:
> Packers back on the practice field for the first time this week. Christian Watson, Quay Walker, and Darnell Savage did not practice.
>
> Aaron Jones and Jaire Alexander practiced.
Jaire Alexander, sidelined due to a shoulder injury in recent games, returned to practice on Thursday. While this doesn’t guarantee an immediate return to the 53-man roster, it signals positive progress. Alexander had been limited in practice the previous week before being ruled out, making his participation on Thursday a hopeful sign.
The possible return of Jaire Alexander is poised to make a significant impact on the Packers’ defense. Widely regarded as one of the best in the league at his position, his addition to a unit already ranking in the top 10 for points allowed per game would provide a substantial boost. Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry acknowledged Alexander’s absence on December 3rd, stating:
> “You’re talking about a guy that is highly competitive and arguably the best at his craft at his position. He wants to be out there. It’s been great. He’s had two pretty good days, yesterday and today.”
As the Packers prepare for a Monday Night Showdown, the potential return of Jaire Alexander becomes a focal point to watch closely.
