Green Bay, Wisconsin — When the Packers host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, cornerback Jaire Alexander will be sidelined for the fourth straight game due to injury. However, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell is expected to return from his neck injury.
Alexander’s shoulder injury is still a problem. His status on Friday’s injury report was questionable.
Additionally, tight end Josiah Deguara (hip) and running back Aaron Jones (knee) will be out of the Packers lineup for a second straight week. On Friday, the Packers had already declared Jones out.
Due to a neck problem, Campbell was unable to play in the Packers’ Thanksgiving Day victory against Detroit, 29–22.
One day after being activated from injured reserve, Packers safety Darnell Savage is available for Sunday’s match. Savage’s calf injury had kept him out of five games.
Running back Jerick McKinnon of the Chiefs will be sidelined due to a groin injury. Defensive end BJ Thompson, offensive lineman Mike Caliendo, defensive tackle Neil Farrell, defensive end Malik Herring, and cornerback Nic Jones are the other Chiefs inactives.
Joining Alexander, Jones and Deguara on the Packers’ inactive list are linebacker Brenton Cox Jr., offensive tackle Caleb Jones and wide receiver Samori Toure.
