Most important Packers returning from injury: Jaire Alexander

Jaire Alexander is certainly one of the Packers’ best players, but this isn’t a list ranking who is the most talented. I’ve put a premium on players on either line, as we’ve seen great teams lose due to the amount of pressure applied to a team’s quarterback.

Alexander will still be a tremendous addition to this defense. The passion and energy alone that he brings will be welcomed in the rocking Lambeau Field. It will be interesting to see how they use him considering Rasul Douglas and Eric Stokes have been playing well on the outside and aren’t suited to move to the slot. Will they try Alexander in the slot instead? There’s only one way to find out.
