GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder/ankle), running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck), linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (neck) and punter Daniel Whelan (illness) as questionable for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game. v. san. Francisco 49ers.
Green Bay also ruled out quarterback Kingsley Inagbare, who suffered a serious knee injury in Sunday's 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
