Alexander appears to be recovering well from his torn Achilles, posting a video detailing his workout routine, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The video is impressive considering Alexander is just shy of four months removed from tearing his Achilles. The former Saints middle linebacker is currently an unrestricted free agent, but judging by Saturday's video it's entirely possible the 26-year-old could be available for a respective team's training camp should he get signed.

The Saints released Alexander (Achilles) on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander suffered a torn Achilles on Dec. 25, less than two months after he was traded from San Francisco to New Orleans. He'll now become an unrestricted free agent, facing a challenge to be ready for Week 1. The 26-year-old linebacker signed a four-year, $54 million contract with the 49ers just two offseasons ago (March 2019).

Alexander (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

The 2017 Pro Bowler suffered a torn Achilles during the Saints' Christmas Day triumph over the Vikings, rendering his shift to IR an unsurprising one. Despite New Orleans having clinched its fourth consecutive NFC South crown and guaranteed itself an extended season by way of a playoff appearance, the severity of Alexander's injury ensures the 26-year-old will be unable to take the field for the rest of 2020.

Alexander suffered a torn Achilles' tendon during Friday's win over the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was feared to have suffered an Achilles injury after he was carted to the locker room in the third quarter Sunday, and he'll officially miss the remainder of the season. The 26-year-old will now face another lengthy recovery process heading into the offseason after finishing the 2020 campaign with 54 tackles (36 solo), including one sack, along with two forced fumbles. Zack Baun could see increased work for the Saints with Alexander sidelined.

The Saints fear Alexander suffered an Achilles injury during Friday's win over the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was carted off to the locker room after a Minnesota touchdown at the end of the third quarter. He's had terrible injury luck in recent years, including a torn ACL in 2018 and a torn pectoral in 2019.

Alexander was carted to the locker room after injuring his foot or ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was injured at the very end of the third quarter, finishing his afternoon with three tackles. The Saints can turn to Alex Anzalone, Craig Robertson or Zack Baun next to Demario Davis at linebacker.

Alexander totaled seven tackles (four solo) in the Saints' 24-21 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was his highest tackle total since Week 4, and Alexander tied for team lead in that department. He'll look to build on this performance against Kansas City in Week 15.

Alexander was lifted from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was sent over to the Saints from the Seahawks prior to the trade deadline, but he wasn't eligible to play in Week 9 due to COVID protocols. He'll be able to participate in practice with the team and suit up for Week 10 against the 49ers now that the roster exemption has been lifted.

The Saints acquired Alexander (ankle) via trade from the 49ers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 49ers are expected to receive a conditional fifth-round pick and linebacker Kiko Alonso (knee) in return, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Alexander sat out the last two games for the 49ers due to an ankle injury, but the Saints likely believe that won't be an issue moving forward. The 26-year-old should be an immediate starter for the Saints. This wasn't a position of dire need, as the Saints already have one of the best run-stopping defenses in the NFL, allowing an average of 90.6 rushing yards per game (third in the league). Alexander could boost the team's pass coverage, though.

Alexander (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander was considered doubtful for Sunday's contest, so it's no surprise he's sitting for the third straight contest. Azeez Al-Shaair and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles are in line for increased defensive snaps again this week.
