The Green Bay Packers have had a trend of releasing veteran players a year or two “early.” Aaron Rodgers actually mentioned multiple former teammates before his exit from Green Bay that he felt the organization did wrong.
However, one star Green Bay just moved on from suffered a brutal blow to an existing injury.

Alexander missed long periods of time due to injury during his final years with the Packers, so his absence from Monday’s practice was notable:
Alexander dealt with a knee injury last season and head coach John Harbaugh said that knee trouble was the reason for the veteran corner’s inactivity on Monday. Harbaugh added that Alexander is not expected to miss any more time.
“He had a little swelling, we kinda wanted to drain his knee today,” Harbaugh said. “He’ll be back tomorrow.”
Alexander signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Ravens after being released by the Packers this offseason. That deal could turn out to be a bargain for Baltimore, but Alexander will have to be able to stay on the field for that to happen.
