"Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jaire Alexander has decided to step away from football in order to focus on getting right physically and mentally amid his ongoing recovery from offseason knee surgery, a league source told ESPN on Tuesday, confirming a Fox Sports report. Alexander, 28, informed the Eagles of his decision Tuesday, a day after their victory over the Green Bay Packers on "Monday Night Football." He did not travel with the team to Green Bay for the game."
"The two-time Pro Bowler underwent right knee surgery in January, appeared in just two games for the Ravens and had his share of struggles when he was on the field. He told reporters last week, though, that this is the best he has felt all year. An All-Pro in 2020 and 2022, Alexander played the first seven seasons of his career for the Packers before they released him in June."

Alexander did not travel with the team to Green Bay and made the decision the day after the Eagles' victory on Monday Night Football. The Eagles had planned for his stay in Philadelphia to address his knee and help his acclimation to their defensive system. Alexander was acquired from the Baltimore Ravens before the trade deadline; he had knee surgery in January and played only two games for the Ravens in 2025.
