Eagles Place Jaire Alexander on Reserve/Retired List 10 Days After Trade

He had informed the team he was stepping away to address his physical and mental health.

Overview

  • Philadelphia announced the roster move Wednesday and activated cornerback Jakorian Bennett in a corresponding transaction.
  • Reports from FOX’s Jay Glazer and The Athletic’s Dianna Russini said Alexander told the team he was stepping away, with retirement under consideration.
  • Alexander did not appear in a game for Philadelphia and was inactive for the Week 10 trip to Green Bay with a "knee/coach’s decision" designation.
  • The Eagles acquired Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Ravens for a 2026 sixth-rounder shortly before the deadline after he played two games for Baltimore.
  • The two-time All-Pro has dealt with significant injuries, including knee surgery in January, limiting his availability over the past two seasons and tempering expectations for the low-cost acquisition.
