Kwon Alexander, a former linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is joining the Detroit Lions from the Denver Broncos practice squad. When Denver was facing serious injury issues in their linebacker room, Alexander used all of his talents to play in three games with the Broncos.
After losing linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez for the season due to a ruptured ACL, Alexander will now join a Lions squad that is on the rise but needs linebacker assistance. Linebacker Alex Anzalone had previously been sidelined by the Lions due to a fractured forearm.
After Cole Holcomb missed the season due to a serious knee injury, Alexander played with the Steelers last season and started at linebacker. But Alexander himself would sustain a serious injury.
He was sidelined for the remainder of the regular season after tearing his achilles against the Green Bay Packers. Alexander tested out for teams after he was well enough to work out, and early this year, the Broncos signed him. He has three tackles and a forced fumble in those games.
Playing for the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, Steelers, Broncos, and now the Lions is nothing new for Alexander.
