Jaire Alexander, Darnell Savage Out For Packers Defense

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and safety Darnell Savage (shoulder) are both inactive for Week 15's contest versus the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The good news for their defense is that cornerback Eric Stokes (hamstring) and linebacker Quay Walker (shoulder), who were listed as questionable to play, are active and will be on the field. Alexander was limited in practice this week but will miss his sixth game in a row. Savage, also a regular for the Packers' secondary when healthy, will miss his sixth game of the year due to injury. Rudy Ford will see more action on Sunday against Tampa. The absences of both Alexander and Savage are good for Buccaneers wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The Packers defense/special teams unit is still in play as a streaming option in Week 15.
