Placed on reserve/retired list The Eagles placed Alexander (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list Wednesday.

Impact Alexander announced his intention to step away from football on Tuesday, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 28-year-old will focus on getting right physically and mentally, leaving the door open for a potential return to the NFL somewhere down the line.

Steps away from football The Eagles placed Alexander (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list Wednesday.

Impact Alexander was acquired by Philadelphia from Baltimore in early November, but the 28-year-old corner informed the Eagles on Tuesday that he's stepping away and considering retirement, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Alexander has elected to step aside to "focus on getting right physically and mentally," which leaves the door open for the 2018 first-rounder to return to the NFL if he's ready to do so. The move corresponds with the Eagles activating fellow corner Jakorian Bennett (pectoral) from injured reserve.

Steps aside, considering retirement Alexander (knee) informed the Eagles on Tuesday that he's stepping away from the team, and the 28-year-old is contemplating retirement, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Impact Things haven't gone as hoped for Alexander this season; he's been managing recovery from the knee surgery he underwent in January and played in just two games for Baltimore after the team signed him in June. Despite being a healthy scratch in his final two weeks as a Raven, Alexander's outlook seemed to be brightening when he was traded to the Eagles on Nov. 1, but he didn't end up playing in either of Philadelphia's next two contests as the team looked to get him acclimated to its system. Alexander is now taking time away from the Eagles to "focus on getting right physically and mentally," and Russini's source suggests he may decide to retire. Alexander made the All-Pro Second Team in both 2020 and 2022 but has had trouble staying healthy in recent campaigns, logging just 14 regular-season appearances across 2023 and 2024 combined.
