The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fear linebacker Kwon Alexander tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to an NFL Network report Sunday.
Alexander went down just before halftime after his leg appeared to buckle on a non-contact play. He was down for a few minutes and received encouragement from several teammates before limping off the field. The team ruled Alexander out shortly afterwards.
Per NFL Network, the team had been in contract talks with the Pro Bowl linebacker, who is in the final year of his rookie deal.
Alexander, 24, had seven tackles and a pass defensed before departing. He entered the game with 38 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles and a pass defensed this season.
The Bucs also lost rookie linebacker Jack Cichy to a knee injury. He missed all of his senior seasons at Wisconsin with a torn ACL.
