Alonso was brought to Philadelphia in the LeSean McCoy trade this offseason. He had an interception in Week 1, was injured in Week 2 and was inactive for Week 3. There's no timetable for his return.

Earlier this month, a report claimed Alonso's "season was in jeopardy" after the initial diagnosis.
