The Cowboys placed Alexander (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Thursday. Alexander was placed on Miami's injured reserve with a groin injury during the preseason before being cut from this list with an injury settlement Sept. 2. The seventh-year cornerback then went unsigned before landing with Dallas' practice squad Dec. 6, and he was elevated once for the Week 16 win over Philadelphia. Alexander will now have to sit out the remainder of the Cowboys' postseason run due to an undisclosed issue.

Alexander was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. After signing with the Dolphins on Aug. 15, Alexander is now set to miss the entire 2022 season with a groin injury unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team. The injury once again leaves Miami very thin at cornerback.

Alexander signed a contract with the Dolphins on Monday. Miami added Alexander to its 90-man offseason roster following a successful workout with the team earlier Monday, per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com. The 28-year-old has primarily played a backup cornerback role over the past five seasons between Minnesota and Cincinnati. Alexander recorded a career-high 51 tackles to go along with five passes defended over 16 games with the Vikings in 2021, and he should help bolster Miami's secondary after the team recently lost defensive back Trill Williams to a season-ending torn ACL this offseason.

Alexander (ankle) is listed as inactive Week 18 against the Bears. Alexander had played in every single game for the Vikings this year leading up to the season finale, but he came up on the injury report late this week and missed Friday's practice, which will end up keeping the sixth-year cornerback sidelined. He had previously worked largely as the nickelback, and with Kris Boyd (ribs) also inactive and Harrison Hand on the COVID list, the depth of the Minnesota secondary is about to be tested.

Alexander had one tackle and played on 50 of the defense's 69 snaps in Sunday's loss at Cincinnati. He worked as the primary nickel and slot cornerback. Alexander gave up three receptions on four throws targeted at him for 32 yards, according to Pro Football Focus, which was better than most of his teammates in the secondary. He should have a steady role in the secondary in his return to the Vikings after one season with the Bengals.
