Two Key Packers Players Were Limited At Practice On Tuesday
Yesterday at 05:59 PM
Two Green Bay Packers players were limited during Tuesday's practice.
Cornerback Jaire Alexander and wide receiver Romeo Doubs were both limited during practice on Tuesday after returning to practice on Monday. Alexander has missed three of the last four Packers games due to a knee injury while Doubs was out last Thursday against the Miami Dolphins with a concussion.
Doubs is still in concussion protocol so his status for this Thursday's NFC North showdown against the Detroit Lions is still very much up in the air. He has recorded 34 receptions for 483 yards and two touchdowns thus far this season.
Alexander has been out these last two games since he re-aggravated a knee limit injury that he first suffered during week eight. The Packers are hoping to get him back on Thursday since he's one of their best defensive players.
He has 16 total tackles and two interceptions this season.
The Packers enter Thursday's game with a 9-3 record and are two games behind the Lions for first in the NFC North. The Lions have won 10 in a row and have already beaten the Packers once this season.
Revenge will surely be on the Packers' menu as they try and trim the Lions' lead in the NFC North to one game.
Considering the talent on both teams, this could be the best Thursday Night Football game of the season. It's also one of the top rivalries in the NFL and has been for quite some time.
Kickoff will be at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video. Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will have the call.
