Signs to practice squad
Alexander signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.
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.

Sent to waivers by Bears
Chicago waived Alexander on Tuesday.
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 him a spot on the initial 53-man roster. It could make Alexander a leading candidate to resurface on the practice squad, though.

Signs with Chicago
The Bears signed Alexander to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
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.

Elevated for Thursday's game
The Lions elevated Alexander from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday.
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.

Back with Lions' practice squad
Detroit signed Alexander to its practice squad Tuesday.
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.

Let go by Detroit
The Lions waived Alexander on Saturday.
Analysis: Alexander was signed to the Lions' active roster Wednesday and played Thursday against the Bears, finishing with eight snaps on special teams without recording a stat. It was his first NFL regular-season action since 2022, but he will not be on Detroit's 53-man roster moving forward. Assuming he clears waivers, the 27-year-old wide receiver could opt to return to the Lions on the practice squad or explore his options elsewhere.

Joins active roster
The Lions signed Alexander to their active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Alexander signed with the Lions' practice squad earlier in November and now has a chance to see his first in-game NFL action since 2022 after being signed to the active roster Wednesday. The 27-year-old appeared in four games with the Lions in 2022, catching his lone target for seven yards across just six offensive snaps. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Detroit's wide receiver room while also contributing on special teams in Thursday's matchup against the Bears.

Back with Detroit
The Lions signed Alexander to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Alexander last saw regular-season action in 2022 with the Lions, appearing in four games and logging one catch for seven yards. After spending the entire 2023 campaign on Detroit's practice squad, Alexander attempted to make the active roster during training camp in August, but he was cut ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. Now back with the Lions, Alexander is available to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster should Detroit need depth at wide receiver on game day.

Cut by Detroit
The Lions waived Alexander on Tuesday.
Analysis: Alexander initially signed with Detroit in August of 2022. He got into six games during his first year with the team and played mostly on special teams, then remained on the practice squad all of last season. The wideout had a strong preseason this year, catching seven of 10 targets for 106 yards, so he could land back on the Lions' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Returning to Detroit
Alexander signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Analysis: Alexander spent all of 2023 on the team's practice squad after appearing in four games during the 2022 campaign with Detroit. The wideout will look to impress in Detroit's offseason program with the hope of earning his way back on to the 53-man roster in 2024.

The Lions waived Alexander on Tuesday.
Analysis: Alexander spent most of the 2022 season on Detroit's practice squad but remained with the club during the offseason on a reserve/future contract. He was unable to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster, but it's possible he joins a practice squad again in 2023.
