The Lions signed two players to their practice squad Tuesday. One was defensive end Isaiah Thomas, which the team announced. The other is wide receiver Maurice Alexander, as reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston.
Thomas has appeared in two games this season for the Lions, against the Packers and the Titans. He had three tackles and a fumble recovery in Detroit’s 52-14 blowout win over the Titans. He was waived by the Lions on November 9 but is now back with the team on their practice squad.
Alexander has spent most of the last two seasons on Detroit’s practice squad. He did appear in four games on special teams duty as a returner in 2022. Before joining the Lions in 2022, he was a kick returner for the Philadelphia Stars in the USFL. He played quarterback, wide receiver and return man during his college days at Florida International.
