WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — The Broncos on Wednesday added a veteran inside linebacker to their practice squad.
Denver is signing Kwon Alexander, a 10th-year player, to its practice squad as it kicks off a practice week at The Greenbrier here, a source confirmed to The Post.
Alexander most recently played nine games in 2023 for Pittsburgh, but his season ended in November when he ruptured his Achilles for the second time in his career.

Alexander, a Pro Bowler in 2017, spent the first four years of his career in Tampa before playing for San Francisco, New Orleans, the New York Jets and then the Steelers.
He has familiarity with Broncos head coach Sean Payton and some of the staffers because he played for Payton with the Saints in 2020 and 2021.
Alexander joins undrafted rookie Levelle Bailey as inside linebackers on the practice squad. Denver’s been playing a three-man rotation of Alex Singleton, Cody Barton and Kristian Welch on the inside defensively and also has special teams regular Justin Strnad on the active roster.
Alexander is healthy now after the Achilles injury last fall and has been working out for teams in recent weeks including Atlanta and Minnesota.
