Packers' Jaire Alexander: Needs knee surgery

Alexander will soon undergo knee surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers' top cornerback has now played just 14 of a possible 34 regular-season games over the past two years, as he's been held back by injuries to his back, shoulder, groin and knee. His most recent appearance came in Week 11, and he's played just 10 snaps on defense since Week 8. The Packers have mostly played well on defense this season, but their subpar cornerback group could be a problematic in the postseason.
