New Orleans Saints fans will see a new number in their defense when the black and gold kick off with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday: linebacker No. 58, Kwon Alexander. Acquired in a Nov. 9 trade with the 49ers, Alexander initially spent a week going through COVID-19 testing before practicing with his new teammates during the last week. It didn’t take him long to pick up the playbook.
Reporters on the scene noted that Alexander was warming up with the Saints first-team defense, along with incumbents Demario Davis and rookie Zack Baun.
