GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Just when it seemed Jaire Alexander was in the clear from the back injury that kept him out of three games this season, the Green Bay Packers' star cornerback appears likely to miss another game because of another injury.
The two-time Pro Bowler did not practice this week because of a shoulder injury he sustained in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams and appears unlikely to play this Sunday at the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report.
A source told ESPN on Friday that Alexander is not likely to be placed on injured reserve, which would require him to miss a minimum of four games, but that Alexander would need to increase the range of motion in his shoulder before he can return to play.
