Already dealing with a significant injury at the inside linebacker position after losing Cole Holcomb for the season in Week Nine, the Pittsburgh Steelers were dealt a significant blow again on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at the inside linebacker position.
Veteran Kwon Alexander went down early with a leg injury that kept him out of the rest of the game at Acrisure Stadium. Post-game, bad news filtered in as head coach Mike Tomlin called it a significant lower body injury, and then ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Alexander had suffered a torn Achilles, ending his season.
