Jaire Alexander, the Green Bay Packers' star defensive back selected as a Pro Bowl starter last season, suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's 27-17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers that could jeopardize his availability Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Sunday night via Twitter that Alexander is believed to have suffered an AC joint injury in his shoulder:
Alexander, who starred for the Louisville Cardinals before the Packers made him a first-round draft pick in 2018, was carted to the locker room after injuring the shoulder during the third quarter. He did not return to the game.
Alexander, 24, has one interception this season and five over four National Football League seasons.
Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis wore an Alexander jersey after the Lakers' preseason game:
