According to Mike Klis of 9News, the Broncos are elevating LB Kwon Alexander and OL Calvin Throckmorton to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 8 against the Panthers.
Alexander, 30, is a former fourth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,758,320 contract before agreeing to a four-year contract worth $54 million with the 49ers in 2019.
He was traded to the Saints midseason in 2020 for LB Kiko Alonso and a conditional fifth-round pick. He tore his Achilles late in the season and was released.
Alexander returned to the Saints on a one-year deal before joining the Jets for the 2022 season. He then caught on with the Steelers back in July of 2023 and signed with Denver’s practice squad in September 2024.
In 2024, Alexander has appeared in one game for the Broncos and recorded one tackle and one fumble recovery.
