Packers' Jaire Alexander: Opens week as DNP

Alexander (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Alexander opening Green Bay's week of practice as a DNP comes as no surprise, as the All-Pro cornerback sustained a knee injury late in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation either Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Packers' Week 9 divisional matchup against the Lions.
