The issues Mike Florio and Chris Simms thought the Packers had came to light in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers as Green Bay showed it's close to making the Super Bowl but still a few pieces away.

Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander left the NFC Championship Game with a thumb injury and did not return.

X-rays revealed a fracture in Alexander’s right thumb, and he left the stadium wearing a cast, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Silverstein asked Alexander about surgery, and Alexander said, “Even if I do, I’m not having it.”

Alexander played 34 defensive snaps and one on special teams.

The good news is: Alexander should heal in plenty of time for organized team activities.
