Campbell wuxuu yiri: 'I think he can only truly answer that, but I feel like this is where it's at for sure right now. This is where it needs to be and where he felt.'.
Tababaraha kooxda ayaa sidoo kale xusay shakhsiyadda ciyaaryahanka: 'I've known Teddy a long time and the human being is unbelievable. Certainly, the player, everything that he's about.

Qorshaha Kooxda Kadib Markii Uu Fariistay
Luke Altmyer, oo aan qoraal lahayn, ayaa sii wadi doona doorka QB2 ee Goff gadaashiisa, waxaana la filayaa inuu qaato saacado badan kulankii ugu horreeyay ee xilli-ciyaareedka ee Cincinnati Bengals Khamiista. Lions waxay saxiixin doonaan qof kale oo quarterback ah si ay u yeeshaan qoto-dheer.
Campbell wuxuu yiri: 'We like Luke. Luke is growing. Luke is getting better. He just needs reps. He needs a million reps, but the reps that he has gotten to this point, he has improved. So, we like him, but we are gonna add somebody and we'd like to add a veteran QB and we're hoping maybe something happens tomorrow... we'll see.'.
Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has officially retired for a second time, joining the reserve/retired list during training camp after missing recent practices for an undisclosed reason.
Campbell Says Retirement Could Be Final
Head coach Dan Campbell believes Bridgewater's decision to step away is genuine, noting that the veteran's biggest concern was letting the team down. Campbell praised Bridgewater's character, describing him as an unbelievable human being with a huge heart who always played with dedication.
Bridgewater, 33, previously retired after the 2023 season only to return to Detroit the following year. This time, however, Campbell feels the retirement is where it needs to be, reflecting Bridgewater's own feelings about his career trajectory.
Bridgewater's Career and Detroit Stint
Signed by Detroit as an unrestricted free agent in March, Bridgewater was brought in to back up Jared Goff for a third stint with the franchise. Over his career, he completed 1,380 of 2,082 passes for 15,182 yards and 75 touchdowns with a 90.3 passer rating across 83 games and 65 starts.
Last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bridgewater appeared in four games, completing just 8 of 15 passes for 62 yards. His NFL journey includes stops with the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Vikings, beginning with a first-round selection by Minnesota in 2014.
Lions Look to Add Depth at Quarterback
Undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer will now fill the QB2 role behind Goff and is expected to take heavy snaps in the preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Campbell expressed confidence in Altmyer's growth, though he emphasized the need for more reps to continue improving.
The Lions plan to sign another quarterback soon to add depth to their roster. Campbell hinted that they would like to bring in a veteran QB, though he acknowledged that timing remains uncertain as the team navigates its offseason moves.
