Lions reportedly signing QB Teddy Bridgwater
.
The Detroit Lions are signing veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, NFL Network’ Ian Rapoport reports.
Detroit will be Bridgewater’s sixth NFL stop since he joined the Minnesota Vikings as a first-round pick out of Louisville in 2014. A series of injuries has stunted his career, but Bridgewater’s remained a valuable NFL contributor as a backup and part-time starter in recent seasons.
Bridgewater last played for the Miami Dolphins in 2022. He made five appearances including two starts as a series of head injuries and concussions forced starter Tua Tagovailoa to the sideline. He completed 62% of his passes for 683 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions.
Bridgewater, like Tagovailoa, was sidelined with his own injuries last season, including a concussion sustained early in a Week 5 start against the New York Jets. He’ll presumably back up starter Jared Goff in Detroit.
