GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder/ankle), running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck), linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (neck) and punter Daniel Whelan (illness) as questionable for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game. v. san. Francisco 49ers.
Green Bay also ruled out quarterback Kingsley Inagbare, who suffered a serious knee injury in Sunday's 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Alexander did not practice this week after aggravating an ankle injury that left him questionable for last week's wild-card game against the Cowboys.
“That's where he is right now and hopefully he'll be ready to go,” head coach Matt LaFleur said when asked about Alexander's availability for Saturday.
Dillon missed the last two games due to a neck injury, but returned Thursday in a limited capacity, while McDuffie left the Dallas game with an injury and did not return. Green Bay doesn't have a second baseman on the roster, but LaFleur believes Whelan “will be fine” on Saturday.
