Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, now with the Baltimore Ravens, has faced a challenging start to the 2025 NFL season. After being released by the Packers in June, Alexander signed a contract with the Ravens, but injuries and inconsistent performance have limited his impact on the field.
Injury Setbacks and Limited Playing Time
Alexander’s transition to the Ravens has been marred by injury concerns. He missed nearly a month of practice leading up to the season and has been inactive for several games, including a recent matchup against the Chicago Bears. Despite these setbacks, Alexander has expressed confidence in his recovery, stating that he feels like he’s back to his old self.
A New Role in Baltimore’s Secondary
With the Ravens’ secondary experiencing injuries to key players, including starting cornerbacks, Alexander’s role has become more prominent. The team has shown confidence in his abilities, even considering him for the “green dot” role, which involves relaying defensive calls on the field. However, his limited playing time and the team’s overall struggles have made it difficult for him to make a significant impact.
Looking Ahead
As the season progresses, Alexander’s performance and health will be crucial for the Ravens’ defense. The team hopes that with continued recovery and increased playing time, Alexander can return to his Pro Bowl form and provide the stability and playmaking ability that made him a standout in Green Bay. For now, the Ravens remain hopeful that their investment in Alexander will pay dividends as the season unfolds.
