Impact Alexander's absence was expected since the team is considering surgery on his shoulder, but he hadn't been officially ruled out against the Bengals until this point. The cornerback was unable to practice in any capacity this week after sustaining the injury in Week 4 against the Steelers. Alexander's next opportunity to see the field will come on the road against the rival Bears in Week 6.
