The right knee injury that cornerback Jaire Alexander has been dealing with over the past three weeks -- and the one that forced him out of his return last Sunday after only 10 snaps - could see him sit out more time, but the Green Bay Packers cornerback doesn't expect his season is over, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.

Alexander told The Athletic on Thursday that he sustained a torn PCL when he hobbled off the field on the final defensive play of the Oct. 28 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Alexander sat out the next game, a Week 9 loss to the Detroit Lions. He returned to practice after the Week 10 bye and went into last week's game against the Chicago Bears expecting to play on a limited rep count but dropped out before halftime.

"I stayed here the whole bye week trying to hopefully come back and make an impact for the team," Alexander told The Athletic. "It was a game-time decision at that, so we didn't know ... until, you know, few minutes before the game if I would play or not."

Alexander, a two-time All Pro, did not say what a reasonable timetable for his return.

"I just need more than 21 days of non-contact," he said. "It just needed more time because to take three weeks off and not do much, that still wasn't enough."
