Alexander (Achilles) participated in a workout with the Falcons on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Alexander tore his left Achilles in a game against the Packers last November while he was a member of the Steelers. It appears he's made significant progress toward a return, though he's currently without an NFL team. Alexander recorded 41 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and added an interception and a forced fumble over nine contests with the Steelers last season prior to his injury.

Alexander sustained a season-ending Achilles injury in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Steelers lost Cole Holcomb (knee) for the season in Week 9 and will now be without Alexander after the latter tore his Achilles in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Given the timing of the injury, it's likely that Alexander will miss the beginning of the 2024 season. He finishes his 2023 season with 41 tackles (32 solo), including one sack, one interception and a forced fumble in eight games.

Alexander (leg) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. It's another blow to a Steelers' linebacker corps that lost Cole Holcomb (knee) for the season in Week 9. Mark Robinson will fill in for Alexander for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Alexander (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Alexander sustained the injury in the first quarter. The Steelers are thin at linebacker after Cole Holcomb sustained a season-ending knee injury against the Titans in Week 9. Mark Robinson will takeover for Alexander in the meantime.

Alexander recorded six solo tackles, including a sack in Pittsburgh's 17-10 win versus the Ravens on Sunday. Alexander logged his first sack of the year as he helped Pittsburgh's defense limit Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore offense to just 10 points. Alexander is currently tied for second on the team with 34 tackles (27 solo) and will look to add to those totals once the team returns from its Week 6 bye in Week 7 against the Rams.
