The 30-year-old inside linebacker has been on Denver’s practice squad after starting in two games and playing in another as a reserve this season for the Broncos.

The Detroit Lions made another veteran addition to the linebacker room, signing Kwon Alexander off of the Denver Broncos practice squad. Alexander will be on his seventh team in 10 NFL seasons, and is on Detroit's active roster as a result of the team claiming him off of another practice squad.

The hits keep coming for the Detroit Lions defense this season. In addition to losing starters such as Aidan Hutchinson and Alex Anzalone, it was confirmed today that linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez tore his ACL.

The Lions have signed three players via practice squads from around the league in recent days, adding another via Seattle's unit on Saturday.

Detroit Lions are currently without 4 of their 5 LBs due to injury: Malcolm Rodriguez, Alex Anzalone, Derrick Barnes and Jalen Reeves-Maybin.

First reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, Alexander was initially signed to the Broncos’ practice squad following Week 3, which saw linebacker Alex Singleton suffer a season-ending injury. Fellow veteran linebacker Zach Cunningham was also signed at the time to the practice squad.

The Lions have signed linebacker Kwon Alexander off the Broncos’ practice squad to their own 53-man roster. Denver could have prevented it by promoting Alexander, but the team previously opted to promote Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the active roster earlier this week.

The Detroit Lions are wasting no time addressing their linebacker woes following the devastating loss of Malcolm Rodriguez to a season-ending knee injury. According to Adam Schefter, the Lions are signing former Pro Bowl linebacker Kwon Alexander from the Denver Broncos’ practice squad,
