The Detroit Lions are bringing back Teddy Bridgewater to give the team an experienced backup quarterback for the playoffs.

Coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that the team has signed Bridgewater as another backup, with second-year Hendon Hooker standing behind starter Jared Goff. The Lions have secured a spot in the playoffs and can secure first place in the NFC with two more wins.

Bridgewater was Detroit’s backup player for the 2023 season when he came on the field for three snaps at the end of a blowout win over Carolina.

Bridgewater spent the fall coaching at his high school alma mater, leading Miami Northwestern High to the Florida Class 3A state title.

Bridgewater was a first-round pick by Minnesota in 2014 and has started 65 games in his NFL career. He spent two seasons in New Orleans when Campbell was an assistant with the Saints.

Hooker has played in three games this season, completing 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards.
