Kwon Alexander: Waived by Detroit
The Lions waived Kwon Alexander on Thursday, Kory Woods of MLive.com reports.Detroit signed Alexander off Denver's practice squad in late November, and the veteran linebacker logged 28 total defensive snaps over two games with the club.

Lions' Kwon Alexander: Joining Lions
Detroit is signing Kwon Alexander from Denver's practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Alexander recorded 145 tackles in 2016 (his second NFL season) and made the Pro Bowl a year later, but he's had a reduced role over the past two campaigns. The veteran linebacker started twice in nine regular-season contests with Pittsburgh in 2023 and recorded 32 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an interception, and he's bounced between the Broncos' practice squad and active roster this year, tallying eight tackles over three games. Alexander could have an opportunity to see substantial playing time with the Detroit Lions, as the team's defense has been decimated by injuries, including to linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez, who is done for the campaign after tearing his ACL on Thanksgiving Day.
