GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - The Green Bay Packers are set to host the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving Day, but the Green and Gold will be without a pair of starters.
Star cornerback Jaire Alexander has been ruled out due to a knee injury that also sidelined him last week against the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs is out as well with a concussion. Doubs remains in concussion protocol and did not practice this week, nor did Alexander.
