The Denver Broncos are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander to their practice squad, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Alexander tore his Achilles tendon last season against the Green Bay Packers but returned to the NFL while rehabbing. Now he’s getting a chance to play for a new team.

The Broncos have struggled at the linebacker position this season, especially in coverage. Cody Barton and Alex Singleton are their starters, but Alexander can help the Broncos as an all-around veteran.

In his nine games with the Steelers last season, Alexander had 41 tackles and five tackles for loss. He started two games after Cole Holcomb was sidelined for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury. Alexander had one interception and one forced fumble.

The former Pro Bowl linebacker has been in the league since 2015. Alexander, a fourth-round draft pick out of LSU, played four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the start of his career. Since leaving, he has enjoyed success with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets and the Steelers. However, injuries have plagued Alexander throughout his NFL career.

Now 30 years old, Alexander still wants to show he has more to offer, and he should be able to do that on a Broncos team that needs a lot of help at the linebacker position.
