Packers CB Jaire Alexander inactive in Week 5 vs. Rams

The Green Bay Packers will be without cornerback Jaire Alexander for the second straight season. Alexander, dealing with a groin injury, is inactive for Sunday’s Week 5 showdown against the Los Angeles Rams.

According to CBS’ Tracy Wolfson, Alexander hopes to be back next week.

Along with Alexander, the Packers inactivated defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt, receiver Christian Watson and first-round pick Jordan Morgan for Sunday.

The Packers are inactive in Week 5:

DL Devonte Wyatt
CB Jaire Alexander
WR Christian Watson
OL Jordan Morgan
DE Brenton Cox Jr.
OL Travis Glover

There is good news. Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, cornerback Carrington Valentine, tight end Luke Musgrave and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper are all active, although they are listed as questionable.

Without Alexander, Valentine could be the starting cornerback next to Eric Stokes. At receiver, the Packers will not have Watson or Romeo Doubs, who was suspended for one game, leaving Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath as the four active receivers.

Morgan, who suffered another shoulder injury in Week 2, will miss his third straight game. Cox and Glover are healthy scratches.

The Packers and Rams will kick off at SoFi Stadium at 3:25 p.m. CT.
