Redskins' Adonis Alexander: Set to miss time

Coach Jay Gruden said Sunday that Alexander (quadriceps) is expected to miss a few weeks, Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Alexander had originally been dealing with a groin injury but will now be forced to miss time due to a hurt quad. The Virginia Tech product was hardly a lock to make the roster, but if the Redskins elect to place him on injured reserve, this news could save him, as the team wouldn't have to make a decision on whether to cut him. The 2018 sixth-round pick totaled just four tackles in nine games during his rookie campaign.
