Loses 13 games to injury in 2021 Alexander appeared in just four games in 2021 and recorded 13 tackles (nine solo), an interception and three pass deflections.

Impact Alexander earned his first Pro Bowl berth in 2020 and got off to a good start in 2021, but he injured his shoulder and Week 4 and sat out the next 13 games. He was able to make it back for the Packers' playoff loss to the 49ers, so his health is no longer a concern. With a normal offseason ahead, Alexander will attempt to stamp himself as the best -- and perhaps, highest-paid -- cornerback in the league in 2022.

David Bakhtiari Inactive Against 49ers, Jaire Alexander Will Play How will the Packers' injury news impact the betting line for their NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Niners?

JANUARY 23, 2022 • NESN.COM

Active for divisional round Alexander is listed as active for Saturday night's divisional-round matchup against the 49ers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Alexander will be active for the first time since returning from injured reserve ahead of Week 17. It's still unknown how much the star cornerback will be utilized in the Packers' defense after recovering from a sprained AC joint suffered in Week 8, so cornerbacks Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas may still see significant action in this win-or-go-home matchup.
