D.J. Alexander

Alexander suffered the foot injury during Sunday's win over the Bengals and will now be sidelined for at least the next eight weeks. Joe Giles-Harris, Malcolm Smith and Donald Payne were signed to provide added linebacker depth.

The game is in the closing stages of the fourth quarter, making it increasingly unlikely Alexander retakes the field. The reserve linebacker's absence is unlikely to significantly impact the Jaguars' defense in the final minutes Sunday.

The 28-year-old sustained the hamstring injury Week 2 and missed the last two games, but he's good to go for Sunday's contest. Alexander should return to his reserve role at weakside linebacker for the Jaguars.

Alexander is working his way back from a hamstring injury suffered Week 2, and he isn't yet ready to retake the field. As long as Alexander remains sidelined, Najee Goode and Austin Calitro are expected to receive increased reserve snaps at the linebacker position.
