Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander attended a workout with the Atlanta Falcons this past weekend, marking his first reported workout since suffering a torn Achilles tendon last season.
DENVER -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander is drawing some interest from the NFC, attending his first reported workout since returning from a torn achilles tendon he suffered last season.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Alexander was one of three linebackers the Atlanta Falcons brought in for workouts before the weekend. The other two included Rashaad Evans and Josh Woods.Alexander signed with the Steelers during training camp last summer and quickly became a fan favorite.
Things went downhill quickly, though, as the Steelers lost both Holcomb and Alexander during the season. Holcomb suffered a knee injury and is still recovering, starting the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Alexander's contract expired after the season, sending him to free agency. Until this point, there have been no known workouts of Alexander, but the long-time veteran should begin drawing options if he's ready to be back on the field. At 30 years old, he's accumulated 631 tackles, 54 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks, 12 forced fumbles and nine interceptions.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk .
