If I had to guess I'd say Alexander will look soft. I think they are giving him a look as due diligence. The guy was MVP caliber just a few years ago and Zorn and Stump Mitchell were coaching his team's offense at the time. With the Betts injury (if it is "at least a few weeks" as reported), we're going to need to sign a RB for sure. Why not give the guy a look? It's not like Portis or even Betts are in danger of losing their roles when healthy.
