Altmyer’s Practice Squad Path | Detroit Lions News

Undrafted QB Luke Altmyer’s NFL journey took an unexpected turn when the Detroit Lions waived him on cut day—only to bring him back to the practice squad.

His path mirrors Tommy DeVito’s wild ride—from Giants practice squad to Patriots’ second-string QB—proving that the practice squad isn’t a dead end. Altmyer’s preseason reps under Dan Campbell signal he’s still in the Lions’ long-term plans. The clock’s ticking, but the playbook’s still being written.
