Healthy scratch for Week 16
Alexander (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Alexander played 28 defensive snaps across the Lions' last two games and logged four tackles (one solo) over that span. However, he will observe Sunday's game from the sidelines due to Trevor Nowaske (concussion) returning from a one-game absence. Alexander's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the 49ers on Monday, Dec. 30.

Alexander has top-12 linebacker IDP upside when healthy, but he's had tremendously bad injury luck the past couple years, to the point that it's casting doubt over his long-term durability. He missed four games with a hamstring injury in 2017, tore an ACL in 2018 and suffered a pectoral tear in October 2019. Upon his return last year, he then suffered a biceps injury that required offseason surgical repair. Those injuries are numerous but also all over the place, perhaps offering some reassurance that he's avoided any chronic conditions. Dre Greenlaw played reasonably well in Alexander's place as a 2019 fifth-round pick, however, so there's a non-zero risk that Alexander loses some share of the snap workload if he continues to miss practice reps.
