Detroit Lions Sign Maurice Alexander to Practice Squad

The Detroit Lions have reinstated defensive end Isaiah Thomas and wide receiver Maurice Alexander to their practice squad after recent roster moves. Thomas, who previously appeared in two games this season, brings needed depth to the defensive line amid ongoing injury challenges. Alexander returns following a stint with the team in previous seasons, where he primarily contributed as a kick returner. Both players are expected to help reinforce the roster as the Lions navigate the second half of the season. Additionally, the Lions waived rookie wide receiver Isaiah Williams, who was subsequently claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals, prompting these roster adjustments. The team's management expressed confidence in Thomas's work ethic and development potential as they aim to stabilize their lineup.
