Ravens trade Jaire Alexander to Eagles for 2026 NFL Draft pick

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Philadelphia Eagles have traded for former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander. A seventh-round pick will also be heading their way, while the Baltimore Ravens received a sixth-rounder. General manager Howie Roseman makes a big move during the team’s bye week.

“A rare in-season Saturday trade: the Ravens are sending former Pro-Bowl CB Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, per sources,” Schefter said via X.

Schefter went on to point out that trades on a Saturday are not too frequent. However, a couple of circumstances led to the Eagles and Ravens agreeing to one. First, as mentioned, Philadelphia does not have a game this Sunday due to a bye. Second, Baltimore already played for the week, taking down the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.

Both teams already moving on to Week 10 allowed them to pull the trigger. Now, Alexander has a chance to get settled into his new home before taking the field in an Eagles uniform on Monday Night Football. And he will be quite familiar with the opponent — the Green Bay Packers. As usual, the NFL has a funny way of setting up interesting storylines.

Alexander only played in two games this season for the Ravens. He recorded five tackles, hoping to improve the stat line in Philadelphia.

NFL fines Baltimore Ravens due to Lamar Jackson injury report situation

The NFL has fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 for violating the league’s injury report policy by incorrectly listing quarterback Lamar Jackson as a full participant on last Friday’s practice participation report, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The hefty fine comes after Jackson returned from a three-game absence with a hamstring injury to throw four touchdowns in the Ravens’ 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins.

The Ravens released a statement shortly after Schefter’s news acknowledging the team “clearly made an error regarding player injury reporting and cooperated transparently with the league’s investigation” and will not appeal the NFL’s fine.

The issue arose after the Ravens retroactively changed Jackson’s status from “full participant” to “limited” in last Friday’s practice report. That was after it was determined the former NFL MVP only worked with the scout team and did not take any first-team reps.

“It really is an honest mistake,” Harbaugh said after the Ravens had a 30-16 victory Sunday over the Bears, per ESPN. “I can tell you this: Nobody’s trying to hide anything. There’s no advantage to be gained with that.”
