The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings held their first real practice of the week on Thursday. Here is the latest on Jaire Alexander, Javon Bullard, Christian Watson and more.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander was full participation at all three days of practice last week but missed a fifth consecutive game on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.
Linebacker Quay Walker, who suffered an ankle injury at Seattle and didn’t play against the Saints, safety Evan Williams, who was inactive last week because of a quad injury sustained at practice, and receiver Christian Watson, who suffered a knee injury during the first half against the Saints and was unable to finish the game, did not practice.“He’s going to be a guy that I think he’s played enough if he’s feeling up to it on Sunday, then we’ll let him go,” LaFleur said.
“I thought he was playing really good football and he’s one of our better players so, hopefully, we’ll have a chance to get him back and get him going. But we’ve certainly missed him.” For the Vikings, six-time Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith, who was inactive last week with a foot injury, was full participation and trending toward returning to the lineup.
To do it on Sunday at Minnesota, which has won eight consecutive games and is ninth in the NFL in scoring, will require the help of everyone, just like it did at Seattle.
