Louisville football’s Jaire Alexander won't play vs. Clemson

Jaire Alexander won't play for Louisville football in Saturday's matchup against Clemson.

The team did not list Alexander on its pregame depth chart released Saturday and listed him as "questionable." He did not dress for team warmups Saturday and did not participate.

The preseason All-American cornerback has been day-to-day with a sprained knee he suffered against Purdue on Sept. 2.

The depth chart notes seniors Ronald Walker and Trumaine Washington as the starters at cornerback, backed up by Russ Yeast and Cornelius Sturghill. Sturghill, who redshirted last season, moved to wide receiver in fall camp but then back to cornerback to add depth in Alexander’s absence.

Alexander caught two interceptions and forced a fumble in last year’s game against Clemson, which the Cards lost, 42-36. Kickoff is set for 8:12 p.m. Saturday.
