The Lions signed Alexander on Wednesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander hasn't played a down in the NFL since 2019, when he filled in at linebacker in Buffalo despite having played most of his career snaps before that as a safety. The Lions don't necessarily have a wealth of depth at linebacker behind Alex Anzalone and Julian Okwara, but even still, Alexander isn't likely to see many snaps this season even if he can crack Detroit's 53-man roster.

Alexander (calf) could draw interest from the Browns in the wake of Mack Wilson (knee) suffering a multi-week injury, Scott Patsko of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander has played most of his career snaps at safety, but he appeared in seven contests as a weakside linebacker in Buffalo last season. A calf injury caused him to end the 2019 campaign on IR, but now that he's healthy Alexander could serve as an emergency option for the Browns.

Alexander (knee/calf) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran depth player didn't practice all week, and the Bills likely couldn't afford waiting around while they're trying to tidy up their defense in hopes of a playoff run. Veteran Corey Liuget was signed in a corresponding move.

Alexander (knee) was ruled out Friday for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander didn't practice this week and will miss at least one game due to the knee injury. Buffalo's defense is unlikely to be impacted by his absence since the 28-year-old exclusively played special teams last week and the rest of the linebacking corps is currently healthy.

Alexander has a knee issue and is not practicing Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Bills' linebackers crew mostly healthy again and starter Matt Milano back in action following a hamstring injury, Alexander is relegated to a special teams role. The depth LB, who recorded 19 special teams snaps but no defensive plays in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, will have two more practices to prove his health to the coaching staff ahead of this week's game against Washington.

Alexander (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday and Thursday, but he wasn't able to practice Friday due to a knee issue. With the Bills' main linebackers all healthy, a potential absence for Alexander would mainly be felt by the team's special teams units, an area where the veteran has proven quite adept throughout his career.

Alexander (knee) missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Bills' main linebackers all healthy, a potential absence for Alexander would mainly be felt by the team's special teams units, an area where the veteran has proven quite adept throughout his career.

Alexander signed a one-year, $1.375 million contract with the Bills on Friday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander played 131 snaps on special teams for the Seahawks last season, but didn't see the field on defense in nine games. He'll provide depth at safety in Buffalo behind the starting duo of Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer.

Alexander (concussion) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Week 15 with a concussion, Alexander looks on track to play Sunday against the Chiefs. His return, assuming he does not suffer a setback, will bolster the depth of Seattle's special teams unit.

Alexander (concussion) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander entered concussion protocol during Week 14's game against the Vikings and hasn't been able to get cleared. Alexander serves strictly in a special-teams role, so his absence won't shake up the defensive dyanmic.
