The Lions waived veteran linebacker Kwon Alexander on Thursday, the team announced. He could return to their practice squad if he clears waivers.
The Lions signed Alexander off the Broncos’ practice squad Nov. 29 after Malcolm Rodriguez tore his anterior cruciate ligament.
Alexander appeared in two games for the Lions, starting against the Packers and Bills. He has four tackles in 29 defensive snaps for Detroit.
He appeared in three games for the Broncos this season, making eight tackles.
Alexander, 30, has appeared in 109 games with 92 starts and has totaled 643 tackles, 13.5 sacks, nine interceptions and 13 forced fumbles.
