The Green Bay Packers have remained optimistic on the timetable for Jaire Alexander after suffering a shoulder injury. However, the worst case scenario still looms large over the team and its cornerback.
According to the latest report from ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Packers are waiting on whether Jaire Alexander misses just a few weeks, as was the previous expectation, or potentially the full season.
There have reportedly been numerous doctors who have weighed in on Alexander's test results, but the final decision depends on how well the Packers CB is able to heal in the short term.
Via ESPN's Adam Schefter:
Alexander already has had multiple doctors review the test results, and more opinions are expected over the next two weeks before a determination is made, one source told ESPN. Doctors want to see both the test results and how well Alexander's shoulder heals over a short period of time.
If Alexander needs surgery, which remains a possibility, his season would be over — which would be a significant loss for Green Bay's defense.
The potential loss of Jaire Alexander, who was named a Pro Bowler just last season, would be a massive blow to the Packers' defense. But until the final diagnosis arrives, there's still hope he gets back sooner rather than later.
