The Detroit Lions have announced that they have waived wide receiver and kick returner Maurice Alexander.
In Week 4, Alexander was elevated to the game-day roster and in Week 5, he was signed from the practice squad to the active roster last Saturday as the team was dealing with injuries at receiver. During those two games, Alexander played on just three offensive snaps and 16 special teams snaps. He did not register a stat on offense, but he did show well as a kick returner, returning five kicks for 131 yards, including a 47-yarder against the Patriots.
