Alexander (knee) was released by the Browns on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander, who primarily placed a special teams role in his two seasons in Cleveland, was placed on injured reserve last October with a knee injury. It looks like he's still dealing with some lingering problems given the failed physical, and he will likely have to be fully cleared before finding a new team to sign with.

Alexander (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander left Sunday's loss the the Bengals with the knee injury and was unable to return, and it looks like he'll be done for the remainder of the regular season. The Browns promoted Deon King from their practice squad Tuesday for added depth to their linebacking unit.

Alexander (abdomen/groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was limited in practice throughout the week and his status is up in the air for Sunday. Tank Carder will likely see an increased role as the sole backup at inside linebacker if Alexander is held out.
