Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander is off the injury report and on the practice field in Green Bay.

Alexander was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Alexander last played Nov. 17 and has suited up in only seven of 13 games this season for the Packers (9-4), who visit the Seattle Seahawks (8-5) on Sunday night.

Alexander, 27, missed the past three games with a knee ligament injury. He was hurt Oct. 27 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and returned prematurely coming out of the bye week in a win over the Bears. Aggravating the injury in a cameo at Chicago put Alexander on the shelf for games against the 49ers, Dolphins and last Thursday at Detroit.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is first in the NFC in passing yards with 3,474.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, tight end Luke Musgrave and wide receiver Romeo Doubs all practiced in some capacity. Musgrave had left ankle surgery stemming from an injury Week 4. A starter as a rookie last season, Musgrave also required a stint on IR in 2023 because of a lacerated kidney.

Doubs (concussion) was hurt in Week 12 in the Packers’ win over the 49ers. He didn’t play against the Dolphins or Lions and remains in concussion protocol but LaFleur said he was a full participant Wednesday.

Cooper has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury sustained last month in practice days before the Packers beat the 49ers.
