As the Green Bay Packers prepare for their pivotal Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, both teams have released their injury reports, highlighting key players who may or may not be available for the game. The Packers face uncertainty regarding cornerback Jaire Alexander, whose status remains questionable. According to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, there’s a consensus within the organization that Alexander seems unlikely to return for this week’s game. LaFleur noted, ‘We’re not optimistic about Jaire’s chance to play this week. We’re going to take it day by day and see how he feels.’ In addition to Alexander, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell and wide receiver Christian Watson appear on the injury report as limited participants in practice, which could impact the team significantly as they vie for playoff positioning. Meanwhile, the Vikings reported the absence of star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, sidelined due to a hamstring injury, which will considerably weaken their offensive capabilities. Minnesota’s coach Kevin O’Connell stated, ‘We are managing our roster carefully as we prepare to face a tough Packers defense.’ The update on both teams comes as they approach a crucial point in the season where playoff implications are on the line, making this matchup even more critical for both sides.
