Kwon Alexander - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Still not practicing Alexander (ankle) didn't participate at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The 26-year-old missed the past two games with the high-ankle sprain, and the early outlook for Week 8 doesn't appear much improved. Alexander will need to progress to some level of practice participation in the next couple days to have a chance of suiting up Sunday in Seattle.

Won't play Sunday Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old will miss his second consecutive game after sustaining the high-ankle sprain Week 5. Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw should dominate the defensive snaps at linebacker in Alexander's absence.

Misses Wednesday's practice Alexander (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Alexander sat out Sunday night's win over the Rams due to his high-ankle sprain, and it seems likely that the severity of his injury will lead to another absence versus New England in Week 7. If Alexander is indeed forced to miss more time, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Azeez Al-Shaair will once again be candidates to handle increased defensive snaps.

Won't play against Rams Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Given that he was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain Wednesday, it's no surprise that Alexander will sit out of this divisional clash. The 26-year-old linebacker has played nearly every snap this season and piled up 30 tackles and a sack through five games. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Azeez Al-Shaair are the top candidates to start at weak-side linebacker in Alexander's place.

Garoppolo back at practice but needs better O-line play

Jimmy Garoppolo was back on the practice field for the San Francisco 49ers a few days after getting pulled at halftime because of a bum ankle and bad performance

OCTOBER 14, 2020 • Associated Press

High-ankle sprain confirmed Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Alexander has a high-ankle sprain and added that Alexander won't practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact High-ankle sprains usually require multiweek recoveries, so Alexander should be viewed as questionable at best for Sunday's game against the Rams. It's worth it to monitor Alexander's practice participation this week in case he's able to recover well ahead of schedule, but chances are he'll join the extensive list of notable injured 49ers defenders come Sunday.

Injuries hamper 49ers in lopsided loss to Dolphins

May have high-ankle sprain Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that there is a possibility Alexander has suffered a high-ankle sprain, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact A subsequent report by Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area revealed that more specific information is expected to arrive on the matter later this week, but for now, the 49er faithful is left wondering whether the defense has suffered yet another injury setback. Alexander has averaged six tackles per game, with three tackles for loss and one forced fumble through the first five weeks of 2020. He would join defensive stalwarts Nick Bosa (knee-ACL), Richard Sherman (calf), K'Waun Williams (knee-ACL) and Dee Ford (neck) on the inactive list if forced to miss any time because of the injury.

Leads defense in tackles Alexander had nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 25-20 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact The 26-year-old notched only a single tackle against the Giants last week, but he bounced back to lead the San Fran defense with nine tackles Sunday. Alexander has 25 tackles (18 solo) and one forced fumble through four games this season.

Tallies nine tackles Alexander tallied nine tackles, including one for a loss, in the team's Week 1 contest against Arizona.

Impact Alexander finished third on the team in tackles, though he wasn't particularly involved early on as his first tackle came late in the second quarter. He didn't receive credit for a forced fumble, but he also combined with Nick Bosa on a hit that jarred the ball loose from Chase Edmonds on Arizona's opening driving in the second half. Alexander played a decreased role in the 49ers defense during an injury-riddled 2019 season, though he appears healthy and ready to roll early early on in 2020.

Retains starting job after injury Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Alexander (biceps) will remain the starting weakside linebacker this season, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact There was some early speculation that Dre Greenlaw could overtake the veteran following a standout rookie campaign, but Shanahan put those rumors to rest after the team's first padded practice Monday. Alexander had a disappointing start to his first year in red and gold, finishing with 34 tackles (22 solo), a forced fumble and an interception in eight regular season starts. He did return for San Francisco's playoff push, but was behind Greenlaw on the depth chart likely due to health concerns. The 25-year-old will look to get back to his triple-digit tackle potential as a full-time starter if he can stay healthy in 2020.
