As challenging as the Rams’ offense is – Los Angeles entered the week leading the NFL in total offense (445.3 yards per game) and ranked second in scoring (33.6 points per game) – at least the Packers should have their full secondary ready to go.
Rookie cornerback Jaire Alexander, who has missed the last two games with a groin injury, practiced on Tuesday and appears on track to be back in the lineup. If he is able to play, it’ll mark the first time since the Packers’ Week 2 tie with Minnesota on Sept. 16 that their top four cornerbacks – Alexander, Kevin King, Tramon Williams and Josh Jackson – were all active for the same game.
“To get all four of those guys on the field together, it will be awesome,” Williams said. “Continuity is a big part of this game, and if you can get all of these guys on the field for a span of time, it always helps out your team play. But who knows? It’s always in the air. Injuries are part of the game. It’s tough.”
Meanwhile, the Packers did not designate wide receiver Jake Kumerow for return from injured reserve Tuesday. Kumerow, who suffered a shoulder injury in preseason and was placed on IR after the final roster cuts, is eligible to begin practicing this week if the Packers want to activate him. But as of now, there’s been no indication whether Kumerow, a former UW-Whitewater standout, will be brought back onto the 53-man roster.
