(AP) — GREEN BAY, WI Jaire Alexander, a cornerback for the Green Bay Packers, has been suspended by the organisation for Sunday night’s crucial game against the Minnesota Vikings and Justin Jefferson.
The decision was prompted by Alexander designating himself as captain for the Packers’ 33-30 victory over Carolina on Christmas Eve, among other reasons.
Together with general manager Brian Gutekunst, coach Matt LaFleur made the choice, saying, “It’s never for one thing.” “I believe that everyone engaged has taught us many things along the process, and perhaps we can use them. I believe we will. Going ahead, I believe there will most likely be improved communication.
According to a statement from the team, Alexander received a one-game suspension for “behaviour detrimental to the team.”
