Dobbs Takes Over Backup Role | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions have officially named Josh Dobbs as Jared Goff’s backup, cutting rookie Luke Altmyer after a shaky final preseason performance. Dobbs impressed with two touchdowns and efficient play, while Altmyer’s turnover in the finale sealed his fate. The Lions hope to keep Altmyer on their practice squad if he clears waivers — other teams have until Monday to claim him. This move solidifies the roster for a deep playoff run, proving veteran experience often wins out in critical roles.
