GREEN BAY, Wis. — In the Green Bay Packers' Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears, Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas started at cornerback and Darnell Savage and Rudy Ford started at safety. That secondary has been picked apart, although not by opposing quarterbacks. Alexander has missed seven games, including the last four with a shoulder injury. Douglas was traded to the Buffalo Bills at the deadline. Savage returned last week after missing five games with a calf injury. Ford was inactive for three games in a four-game stretch. In their place, cornerbacks Carrington Valentine and Corey Ballentine and safety Jonathan Owens have excelled, helping the Packers win three straight games.
