Kwon Alexander Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Kwon Alexander (biceps), who had surgery on his pectoral muscle last season, was also dealing with a biceps injury and is undergoing surgery on Friday, according to sources. Alexander should be fully recovered in time for the 2020 season. The 25-year-old played in just eight games in 2019 in his first season with San Fran because of his pectoral injury. In those eight contests, Alexander had 34 tackles (22 solo), half a sack, a forced fumble and an interception. He's played in just 14 games the last two seasons and will need to stay on the field if he wants to remain with the 49ers past the 2020 season.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) will be activated from Injured Reserve and will be back on the field on Saturday in the Divisional game against the Vikings, but he's unlikely to play an every-down role after a long layoff. He's nine weeks removed from surgery to fix a torn pectoral and just returned to practice last week. Rookie Dre Greenlaw played weakside linebacker in the second half of the season with Alexander sidelined. An already imposing defense could be getting Alexander, defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and strong safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) back this weekend. Alexander's return will surely help a run defense that has been exposed for most of the season.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) could return if the team advances to the NFC Championship. That would require the 49ers to win just one more game, as they have a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. The 25-year-old has played in just eight games this season due to injury and has 34 tackles (22 solo), half a sack, one forced fumble and an interception. His return would be a big boost in the middle of the field for what is already one of the most feared defensive units in the league.
