Rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker is now on the Lions’ 53-man roster.

Jared Goff, Teddy Bridgewater

Hooker tore his ACL in his final game at Tennessee and the third-round pick has been on the non-football injury list for the entire regular season, the story said. Hooker will still only be the team's QB3, but Hooker can continue practicing through the rest of the season. Bridgewater is planning to retire after this season, so Hooker would presumably be line for the No. 2 job next year, the story said.

The Lions are signing QB Teddy Bridgewater after a recent visit to Detroit. A new backup QB.

The Lions are signing the 30-year-old quarterback after a July 24th visit and have been in talks with him since March. This solidifies the fact that we are unlikely to see Hendon Hooker in any capacity as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, but it provides a great opportunity for mentorship. Bridgewater has made 31 starts over the past three seasons and offers a great option without much of a dropoff if something were to happen to Goff.
