Packers' Carrington Valentine: Logs first INT of 2024
Carrington Valentine registered three tackles (one solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during Green Bay's 30-13 win over Seattle this past Sunday.Valentine got the start at outside cornerback this past Sunday due to Jaire Alexander (knee) being sidelined with an injury. Valentine ended up playing 55 defensive snaps and nabbed his first interception of the regular season when he picked off a Geno Smith pass intended for Noah Fant late in the second quarter, which halted the Seahawks' red zone drive in the process. Valentine could start at outside corner opposite Keisean Nixon against the Saints on Monday if Alexander is unable to progress in his recovery enough to play.

Packers' Carrington Valentine: Impresses in Week 11
Carrington Valentine recorded nine total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears.The second-year corner from Kentucky capitalized on his increased snaps with the Green Bay Packers' first-team defense after Jaire Alexander exited Sunday's win due to an aggravation of his knee injury, tying Xavier McKinney as the team's leading tackler. Valentine hasn't seen much defensive work this season after being an integral part of the Packers' defense during his rookie campaign. He's posted 15 total tackles and one pass defended through Green Bay's first 10 regular-season games in 2024. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Alexander's injury is not believed to be serious, so Valentine will likely resume his role as the Packers' top backup corner in Week 12, when the 49ers visit Green Bay.
