The Carolina Panthers have placed DE Frank Alexander on season-ending injured reserve after he cleared waivers on Tuesday.

Alexander suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon during Saturday’s preseason game and was later waived/injured in an attempt to get him on the injured reserve list.

Alexander, 25, is a former fifth-round pick of the Panthers back in 2012. He is in the final year of his four-year, $2.57 million rookie contract and stands to make a base salary of $660,000 for the 2015 season.
