Out for remainder of season
The Cowboys placed Alexander (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
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.

2016
The Vikings invested a late second-round draft choice in Alexander in 2016, but he did not make a start over his first two NFL campaigns with Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes firmly implanted in the No. 1 and No. 2 cornerback roles. 2018 was Alexander's most active season yet, as he made 15 appearances (with six starts), collecting seven tackles for loss, 10 pass deflections and an impressive four sacks from the nickelback position. The 25-year-old defensive back is expected to keep working out of the slot this season, as Minnesota looks to repeat as a top-three pass defense for the fourth straight season.

ANALYSIS
Alexander signed with the Dolphins midway through training camp but suffered a groin injury and was released with an injury settlement. He's now latched onto a new opportunity in Dallas. The Cowboys' secondary has been depleted by injuries, which means Alexander could see snaps prior to the close of the regular season.
