Packers' Jaire Alexander: Packers optimistic for return

Alexander (shoulder) has an outside shot at returning this season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The cornerback suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder versus the Steelers on Oct. 3, a potential season-ending injury, but head coach Matt LaFleur is optimistic he could return before the end of the year. Although the coach doesn't know when Alexander could be back, any return is a welcomed one for Green Bay, as Alexander has deflected 44 passes and recorded five interceptions in four seasons with the squad.
