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

Alexander says he is stepping away to focus on physical and mental recovery, with retirement under consideration.

Overview

  • Philadelphia made the roster move less than two weeks after acquiring Alexander from the Ravens in a late-round pick swap.
  • The team activated cornerback Jakorian Bennett in a corresponding transaction, reinforcing secondary depth.
  • Multiple outlets report Alexander informed the team of his hiatus, and ESPN sources say no formal retirement paperwork has been filed.
  • Alexander did not travel for the Week 10 game and was listed as out with a 'knee/coach’s decision' designation.
  • Before the trade, the 28-year-old played two games for Baltimore while working back from injuries, including knee surgery in January.
