- Alexander issued an apology and said he accepts full responsibility for his actions after an off-field drunken driving case.
- The team said it stayed in contact with the NFL while the legal process moved forward and that the legal matter is now resolved.
- Fox News reported Alexander pleaded guilty to third-degree DWI, recorded an initial breath test of 0.169 blood alcohol content, paid $603 in fines and fees, received 48 hours of community service and was placed on two years of probation.
- The club framed the penalty as serious and appropriate, temporarily removing Alexander from coaching duties during summer work and signaling continued team oversight of off-field conduct; ESPN reporter Kevin Seifert first relayed the suspension on X.
