The Packers have a long injury report to start the week but only cornerback Jaire Alexander and running back MarShawn Lloyd did not practice on Wednesday. Plus, the latest on key 49ers injuries.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Cornerback Jaire Alexander didn’t practice on Wednesday as the Green Bay Packers practiced for the first time this week before Sunday’s big NFC game against the rival San Francisco 49ers.
“You’re talking about an elite player at his position,” LaFleur said. “So, it definitely is tough when he’s not out there, but that’s the case for a lot of teams in this league, missing players, and you’ve got to have the next guy step up, be ready to go, and can never let that standard slip.” “I think we’re a really good offense, regardless, but I think obviously just being able to move around and make plays outside of the on-schedule plays is definitely a big part of our offense,” Love said. “I think when we can do that, we have more explosive plays that we’re capable of. But I think we’re a good offense regardless.”
“He definitely could be good for Sunday, and he definitely could not be good for Sunday, so that's why I don't think about it yet,” Shanahan told reporters before practice on Wednesday.
