For the second straight week, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost a key inside linebacker to a season-ending injury, this time with veteran Kwon Alexander going down with a torn Achilles against the Green Bay Packers Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
Alexander’s injury came one week after Cole Holcomb suffered a serious leg injury, landing him on Injured Reserve.
Due to the injuries to Holcomb and Alexander, the Steelers are now perilously thin at the inside linebacker position this late in the season. Additions are coming to the roster, that much is almost assured. Where those additions come from is anyone’s guess right now though.
