Alexander sustained a foot injury and is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The game is in the closing stages of the fourth quarter, making it increasingly unlikely Alexander retakes the field. The reserve linebacker's absence is unlikely to significantly impact the Jaguars' defense in the final minutes Sunday.

Alexander (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Carolina, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old sustained the hamstring injury Week 2 and missed the last two games, but he's good to go for Sunday's contest. Alexander should return to his reserve role at weakside linebacker for the Jaguars.

Alexander (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game in Denver, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander is working his way back from a hamstring injury suffered Week 2, and he isn't yet ready to retake the field. As long as Alexander remains sidelined, Najee Goode and Austin Calitro are expected to receive increased reserve snaps at the linebacker position.

Alexander (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Titans, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander exited Week 2's game with this injury, and he wasn't able to get back on the practice field during the shortened week. He'll have additional recovery time due to the Thursday Night game as he looks to get healthy for Week 4 versus the Broncos. Expect Najee Goode and Austin Calitro to see a bulk of the depth reps until Alexander returns.

Alexander is dealing with a hamstring injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Houston, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how Alexander picked up the injury, but it's serious enough to force him to miss valuable game reps. As long as he's sidelined, Najee Goode and Austin Calitro could be in line to receive depth reps at the linebacker position.

Alexander (neck) had two assisted tackles in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles.

Alexander left Thursday's game against the Titans, and is questionable to return with a stinger, Tad Dickman of the Jaguars' PR reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how Alexander suffered the injury, but expect the Jaguars to update his status throughout the game, or after at the least. With Alexander out, Joe Giles-Harris and Connor Strachan could see an increase in reps.

Alexander signed a contract with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander is the third linebacker to sign with Jacksonville today, joining a pair of special-teams aces in Najee Goode and Ramik Wilson. Considering Alexander didn't see a single snap on defense for the Eagles last year, he's likely viewed as a special-teams asset as well.

Alexander produced four tackles over 12 games in 2018.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander didn't log a single snap on defense, but he was heavily involved on special teams. The 2015 fifth-rounder will become an unrestricted free agent in March.
