Jaire Alexander, Christian Watson inactive for Packers-Rams

The Packers won’t have two of their key players who were on the injury report as they play the Rams on Sunday.

Cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) and receiver Christian Watson (ankle) are officially inactive for Week 5.

Alexander was questionable after being limited Thursday and Friday. Watson had doubts after not training all week.

But the Packers do have cornerback Carrington Valentine, tight end Luke Musgrave, offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, all of whom were questionable.

Green Bay’s full list of inactives includes Watson, Alexander defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr., offensive lineman Jordan Morgan, offensive tackle Travis Glover and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt.

On the other hand, Los Angeles had previously ruled out receiver Cooper Kupp, who is dealing with an ankle injury. But cornerback Tre’Davious White is a surprise inactive for the Rams. He had started the first four games of the season.

Los Angeles’ inactives are Kupp, White, quarterback Stetson Bennett, running back Cody Schrader, outside linebacker Brennan Jackson, offensive lineman Geron Christian Sr. and defensive lineman Desjuan Johnson.
