In a surprising move, the Detroit Lions have signed veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who is coming out of retirement after a successful stint coaching a high school team to a state title. Bridgewater re-joins the Lions as they prepare for their playoff push, providing experience and depth behind starter Jared Goff. Head coach Dan Campbell emphasized that this addition is not indicative of a lack of confidence in rookie Hendon Hooker. Bridgewater previously played for the Lions and has a notable NFL background, including time with teams like the Saints and Broncos.
