Vikings further bolster secondary by bringing back cornerback Mackensie Alexander

Cornerback Mackenzie Alexander is returning to the Vikings, according to his agent Neil Schwartz.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Alexander, the Vikings' 2016 second-round pick out of Clemson, left for a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency last year.

He departed under controversial circumstances. He played with an injured knee in the Vikings' 2019 regular-season finale, instead of being rested like many of the team's key players, and was irked when he needed surgery and missed two playoff games.

Alexander, 27, played 55 games, starting 10, over his four seasons with the Vikings.
