The Detroit Lions are addressing their linebacker shortage by signing veteran Kwon Alexander from the Denver Broncos' practice squad. This move comes as the team deals with multiple injuries, including Malcolm Rodriguez's knee issue and Alex Anzalone's broken arm.

Despite struggles on defense, the Lions lead the NFC with an 11-1 record and are preparing for a crucial game against the Green Bay Packers. Their rushing attack remains strong, with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery performing well, but the red zone offense needs improvement.
