Alexander (knee) took part in 11-on-11 drills with the first-team defense during Monday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Monday's practice was Alexander's first with pads since tearing his ACL last season. All reports are that the 24-year-old has been trending up in his rehab, and his presence early in camp bodes well for full clearance heading into the regular season. Alexander will take over as the 49ers' starting Mike linebacker, and he should contend for triple-digit tackles assuming his knee returns to full health.
