According to the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office, the other man left the county, "leaving Mr. Alexander behind."

However, on Thursday morning, the sheriff's office announced Alexander walked up to the ranger stations at the state park around 7:15 a.m. 

"He is in good health and will be turned over to family members," the agency wrote on Facebook.

Officials did not provide additional details, including Alexander's whereabouts since Monday.

Alexander's son, Mackensie, a cornerback with the Cincinnati Bengals, left training camp on Tuesday to search for his father.
