Detroit Lions make decision on WR Maurice Alexander

Lions News Reports

Following their Week 7 road loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced on Monday that they had waived kick return specialist/wide receiver Maurice Alexander. Alexander had just been signed from the practice squad before the game against the Cowboys. He also went through this same situation back in Week 5 when he was signed from the practice squad and then released after the game. Don’t be surprised if Alexander is signed back to the Lions’ practice squad as soon as he clears waivers.
