Alexander was brought in for a workout with the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander was waived by the Raiders ahead of the 2018 campaign after being suspended for the first four games of that regular season for violations of the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. The 28-year-old played 24 games over his first two NFL seasons, but he has not seen action since the 2017 campaign.

The Raiders waived Alexander on Tuesday with a non-football injury designation.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander was suspended by the league for the first four games of 2018 after using a banned performance-enhancing substance, and he mysteriously didn't report when the Raiders broke camp last Friday. He could wind up elsewhere if another team elects to take a chance on the 234-year-old guard, though he would remain sidelined for the first four weeks due to the suspension.

Alexander was placed on the did not report list Friday, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander is suspended for the first four games of the season due to a violation of the league's performance-enhancing substance policy, but that doesn't explain his absence from camp. He's still able to participate in training camp and the preseason despite his suspension. It's unclear how long he'll be away from camp, but his absence opens the door for Brandon Parker or Breno Giacomini to get some extra reps.

Alexander was suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Matt Schneidman of The Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander missed four games in 2017 with ankle issues and a concussion, and he's set to miss at least the same amount in 2018. Regardless, Oakland drafted Kolton Miller in the first round, and he's expected to take over as the right tackle.

Alexander (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Though he failed to practice this week, the Raiders listed Alexander as doubtful in the event he received clearance from an independent neurologist leading up to the contest. That evidently didn't materialize, so Alexander will end his season in street clothes after sustaining the head injury in the Week 16 loss to the Eagles.

Alexander (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander sustained the concussion in last Monday's loss to the Eagles and did not practice this week. Center James Stone is likely to be the primary backup interior offensive lineman for the Raiders in Week 17.

Alexander sustained a concussion and has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander will thus need to pass through the league-mandated concussion protocol in order to play in the season finale Sunday against the Chargers. Meanwhile, the Raiders will only have one other reserve lineman, center James Stone, available for the remainder of Monday's affair.

Alexander (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 game against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander was limited in practice all week after playing through his injury against the Buccaneers last week. As a depth lineman his absence shouldn't impact the team greatly.
