Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander active at Cowboys after spraining ankle in practice

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Jaire Alexander of the Green Bay Packers is active for a wild-card playoff game at Dallas after the starting cornerback sprained an ankle in practice during the week. The injury that coach Matt LaFleur called “a freak deal” when Alexander stepped on a teammate’s foot had the two-time Pro Bowler listed as questionable in what has been an on-again, off-again season for him. What isn’t clear is how the injury might affect the Packers’ plans to have Alexander follow Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had an NFL-best 135 catches for 1,749 yards. Green Bay receiver Christian Watson, who scored three touchdowns when the Packers beat the Cowboys in Dallas coach Mike McCarthy’s return to Lambeau Field last season, is active after missing five consecutive games with a hamstring injury.
