TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will likely be without starting middle linebacker Kwon Alexander against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Alexander has been battling a hamstring injury and missed practice all week.
Alexander left in the second quarter last Sunday against the Chicago Bears and was replaced by rookie Kendell Beckwith, who slid over from the strongside position. Adarius Glanton stepped into Beckwith's spot.
Beckwith finished the game with five tackles, two tackles for a loss and a pass breakup. He also helped limit the Bears' rushing attack to 20 total yards.
