Removed from COVID list Alford (pectoral) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact The 32-year-old cornerback remains on injured reserve with a torn pectoral suffered in August. Set to make $7.5 million in 2021 in what will be his final year under contract with the Cardinals, Alford eyes his first game appearance since Dec. 30, 2018. A fractured tibia cost him all of 2019 after he joined the Cardinals as a free agent in February of that year.
DECEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to COVID list Alford was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact A torn pectoral injury ended Alford's 2020 season in August, marking a second devastating injury in as many years after the 32-year-old was forced to sit out the entire 2019 campaign because of a fractured tibia. The former Falcon remains focused on a potential 2021 Cardinals debut, as he has still not suited up in a regular-season game since joining Arizona in February 2019.
