I&#8217;m the type of person that always wants to put my best foot forward. I feel like if I can&#8217;t put my best foot forward then it&#8217;s just tough to be out there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And his prediction-making talents take a turn toward murky when applied to the next time he&#8217;ll be able to take the field.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander&#8217;s answer when asked if he will play on Monday against the Giants: &#8220;We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whenever he returns, though, it&#8217;s a certainty that he&#8217;ll provide a boost.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/jaire-alexander-on-packers-recent-turn-of-fortune-i-m-not-going-to-call-myself-a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the Packers&#8217;
