Veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has stepped away from football. He was placed on the reserve/retired list by the Detroit Lions, with coach Dan Campbell noting that Bridgewater's biggest concern was letting the team down.
Bridgewater, 33, signed a one-year deal with the Lions in March after spending the previous season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been expected to back up Jared Goff, but undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer has been taking more reps in training camp during Bridgewater's absence.
The Lions plan to sign a veteran quarterback soon, as Campbell mentioned that Goff will not play in the upcoming preseason game. He emphasized that Altmyer will take on a significant workload and that any new addition will be brought up to speed quickly.
泰迪·布里奇沃特离开狮队，替补四分卫位置成疑
老将四分卫泰迪·布里奇沃特已离开足球。他被底特律狮队列入保留/退役名单，教练丹·坎贝尔指出，布里奇沃特最大的担忧是让球队失望。
33岁的布里奇沃特在三月与狮队签署了一份为期一年的合同，此前一个赛季在坦帕湾海盗队效力。他原本预计将作为贾里德·戈夫的替补，但无选秀新秀卢克·阿尔特迈尔在布里奇沃特缺席期间在训练营中获得了更多的训练机会。
狮队计划尽快签下一名老将四分卫，坎贝尔提到戈夫将在即将到来的季前赛中缺席。他强调阿尔特迈尔将承担重要的训练任务，任何新加入的球员都将迅速熟悉球队。
