The main issue with the hit was that Alexander had lowered his head to make the hit, which NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported will be a point of emphasis for the NFL going forward.
Alexander was fined for the same offense in 2022.
The eight-year veteran signed a one-year deal worth $1.3 million with the Steelers after spending the 2022 season with the New York Jets. He played in 17 games (12 starts) in 2022 and recorded 69 tackles.
Alexander was a Pro Bowler in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and also spent time with the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers.
