Dobbs Stuns as Lions QB Backup | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions locked in their QB room with Jared Goff as starter and Joshua Dobbs as backup after waiving rookie Luke Altmyer — despite his strong preseason play. Dobbs’ edge came from his familiarity with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who previously coached him in Cleveland and Arizona, plus his solid final game against Indianapolis. Altmyer may still land on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Dobbs signed a one-year deal worth $14.25M, $475K guaranteed, shortly after Teddy Bridgewater’s retirement. With the roster set, the Lions are ready for their regular-season opener. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
