The Packers (6-6) said Sunday that the 26-year-old Alexander wouldn’t play against the Giants (4-8) due to a shoulder injury.
He had been listed as questionable on the injury report on Saturday.
Watson was ruled out Saturday. The 24-year-old hurt his hamstring late in the fourth quarter of Green Bay’s 27-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week Sunday.
Watson had scored four touchdowns during the Packers’ three-game win streak.
Packers linebacker Quay Walker is doubtful Monday, while running back Aaron Jones, safety Darnell Savage and cornerback Eric Stokes are questionable.
