Lions Sign Kwon Alexander Amid Linebacker Injuries

The Detroit Lions have signed linebacker Kwon Alexander from the Denver Broncos' practice squad amid a series of injuries plaguing their defense. Malcolm Rodriguez suffered a torn ACL during a recent game against the Chicago Bears, sidelining him for the rest of the season. Rodriguez had been filling in for Alex Anzalone, who is also injured, along with other veterans Derrick Barnes and Jalen Reeves-Maybin. The Lions, currently leading the NFC with an 11-1 record, are in urgent need of depth at linebacker as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers. Alexander, a seasoned player with 90 career starts and a history of impactful plays, is expected to step in and stabilize the weakened linebacker corps. This signing reflects the Lions' ongoing struggle with injuries that have significantly impacted their defensive lineup this season.
