3 years agoNew Orleans Saints linebacker Kwon Alexander will miss Monday's contest against Miami after having been added to the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list shortly prior to kickoff. New Orleans has a whopping 21 players on the list, leaving the team shorthanded for a crucial Week 16 matchup. Alexander has compiled 39 tackles -- seven of which have come for a loss -- four quarterback hits, three sacks, two passes defended, and an interception across 10 games (six starts) this season. The Saints defense remains a tricky season-long option, even with a solid matchup Monday; looking ahead, they will have favorable showdowns over the final two weeks of the year against Carolina and Atlanta. The next chance for Alexander to rejoin the mix comes in Week 17.--Jesse Borek
