Mackensie Alexander DB, Cincinnati Bengals

Bengals CB Mackensie Alexander (personal) left training camp.

Unfortunately, Alexander's father is missing in Florida after leaving on a berry-picking excursion on Monday. Authorities are still searching, so Alexander understandably will be away from team facilities for the time being and it's unclear when he will return. The Bengals' season opener is on September 13 against the Chargers. We wish the Alexander family the best.

The story is getting weirder.

Mackensie Alexander arrested for battery on man who last saw his missing father

Bengals cornerback Mackensie Alexander, who left training camp to help search for his missing father, has now been arrested after a confrontation with the man who was last with Alexander’s father.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Alexander was arrested on Tuesday night on one count of battery.

According to the report, the Collier County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office arrested Alexander after he confronted the man who left Alexander’s father, Jean Odney Alexandre, behind on a berry-picking trip.

The search for Alexandre has involved sheriff’s deputies, officers from the Florida Wildlife Commission, search dogs and helicopters. He has been missing since Monday night.

The charges are a nothingburger. Will likely get dropped and I strongly doubt the NFL will act on anything here given the circumstances.

The status of his missing father is the story. And Mackensie, as well as the cops, likely know the "friend" is somehow involved or withholding info.

WOW! Stories like this rarely have this ending. Thats awesome to hear if true.

Several sites are now reporting it. Apparently, after three days in the field he just walked into a Ranger Station. Don't know if he simply got lost or what. I'm sure we'll hear more in the coming days to fill in the gaps.

But yeah, bottom line according to Dehner Jr. his family flew out to meet him this morning.

Thank God this turned out so well.

Reports on PFT this morning around Mixon sitting out of practice due to Migraines. Speculation of course is that it may be contract related. But history says he has had migraines before so it could be a recurring issue. Dont like to see this from someone who bangs their head on every play. Could be a short career for Mixon if this continues to be an issue. It will certainly affect his contract negotiations as well. If his agent is playing games, head injuries is probably not the best winning strategy here.

My 17 get migraines semi-regularly and got one today. I am not sure what the weather was in Cincy but here the barometric pressure was jumping around and that is a trigger for lots of people and has nothing to do with head injuries.
