MACKENSIE ALEXANDER NEWS

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

Impact 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.

Inactive against Bears Alexander (ankle) is listed as inactive Week 18 against the Bears.

Impact 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.
