The Green Bay Packers will be without cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker Quay Walker on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but all five players listed as questionable on the final injury report are active and will play.
Alexander (shoulder) and Walker (groin) were both doubtful after missing practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Expect the Packers to start Corey Ballentine opposite Carrington Valentine at cornerback and Isaiah McDuffie at linebacker.
Alexander, who is over a back injury but his his shoulder against the Rams, will miss a fourth game in the Packers’ last seven. Walker is missing his second consecutive game after tweaking his groin late in the week last week.
While the Packers will be without two top defenders, the inactive list brought some good news: defensive lineman Kenny Clark, center Josh Myers, right guard Jon Runyan Jr., left tackle Yosh Nijman and safety Rudy Ford are all active despite questionable listings.
The Packers’ other three inactive players are all healthy scratches.
