Packers wide receiver a player who was “surprised by the suspension” following the coin toss mishap.
On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers will play their most important game of the year. There will be significant ramifications from their regular season finale against their oldest rival, the Chicago Bears. After missing the postseason in their final season with Aaron Rodgers last year, they will make a trip back to the NFL Playoffs if they win. If they lose, the Jordan Love Era’s inaugural season will conclude in the same manner as the Aaron Rodgers Era’s did: with an 8-9 record and a home loss to a division rival that prevents them from qualifying for the postseason.
Thankfully for the Packers, a number of players who had been sidelined by injuries lately made a successful return to practice on Wednesday. Jayden Reed, who left the game due to an injury, was joined on the practice field by Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson, who were not present during the victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. Luke Musgrave, a tight end who has been placed on injured reserve due to a lacerated kidney, is also improving and might be available on Sunday.
Inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, who was sidelined for the entire previous week due to a neck injury, has returned to practice on the defensive side of the ball. He had previously caused a stir on social media when he declared he would no longer play through injuries.
After the Packers’ thrilling victory over the Carolina Panthers, the team suspended two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, who is now back at practice. In the lead-up to the coin-toss, Alexander had appointed himself captain and given what some called “weird” interviews. Alexander spoke with media following his first practice following his suspension to discuss his takeaways from the incident and to make clear his future goals.
“Grateful” to be a member of the Green Bay Packers, Jaire Alexander
Fans had differing opinions about the Packers’ decision to suspend Alexander for the game against Minnesota. While some cheered the team’s decision, others lamented the Packers’ lack of their best cornerback against a team that had wide receivers Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson.
Thankfully, the Vikings’ offense was completely shut down by the Packers’ starting line of Corey Ballentine and Carrington Valentine. However, a lot of people questioned whether the Packers and Alexander’s relationship had gotten so bad that they might part ways following
Alexander told reporters during his Wednesday media session that he took lessons from the incident and that he truly wants to play for the Packers in the future:
