The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost Kwon Alexander for the season after the linebacker suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers.

Alexander sustained the tear in the first quarter on what appeared to be a noncontact injury.

He was wearing the green dot (as the player that communicates with the sideline) after taking the job over from fellow inside linebacker Cole Holcomb, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Tennessee Titans a week earlier.
