The Bears signed Alexander to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander spent most of the 2025 season on the Bears' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. His lone appearance came in Week 17 against the Packers, when he played one snap on offense without showing up on the box score otherwise. Alexander has appeared in eight regular-season games since entering the league in 2022 as an undrafted free agent, and he'll be a member of Chicago's 90-man roster when the offseason officially starts Feb. 9. That gives the Florida International product an opportunity to participate in offseason programs and make a positive impression on the coaching staff ahead of training camp in July.

With Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) inactive against the Packers, Alexander played one offensive snap but didn't produce anything in the box score. The 28-year-old hasn't drawn a regular-season target since 2022 with the Lions.

Alexander signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver was waived by the team Tuesday after falling short of the 53-man roster, but he was able to stay with Chicago after clearing waivers. Alexander signed a reserve/future contract with the Bears in January after spending the last three years with the Lions. The Florida International product has one career regular-season catch for seven yards.

Chicago waived Alexander on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Alexander boasts familiarity with Bears coach Ben Johnson's offensive scheme, as he spent the last three seasons with Detroit, but that won't be enough to earn a spot on the initial 53-man roster. It could make Alexander a leading candidate to resurface on the practice squad, though.

EDGE Analysis
Alexander has spent the past three seasons in Detroit with new Bears coach Ben Johnson. Alexander hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2022 but has been mastering the offense on the practice squad. He'll compete for a depth job in Chicago this offseason.

EDGE Analysis
Alexander was waived by the Lions this past Saturday, but he opted to stick around in Detroit by signing to the practice squad Tuesday. He'll serve in a depth role at wide receiver, though if he does see the field against the Packers on Thursday, it'll likely be in a special teams role.

Detroit signed Alexander to its practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Lions waived Alexander from their active roster Saturday, but they're now bringing him back onto their practice squad. With Kalif Raymond (foot) and Antoine Green (concussion) both on injured reserve, Alexander could find himself back with the primary unit sooner rather than later.
