WHAT HAPPENED

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater announced that he is stepping away from the Detroit Lions and retiring from the National Football League, according to coach Dan Campbell on Sunday. The decision marks the end of Bridgewater’s NFL career, which included a brief stint with the Lions last season.

The announcement came after a short period of uncertainty in the Lions’ quarterback room, prompting questions about who would take over as the backup starter. The Associated Press reported that Bridgewater’s departure leaves the backup‑QB position in question, underscoring the immediate impact on the team’s depth chart.

Bridgewater, a veteran who has played for several teams over his career, had previously spent time with the Saints, Browns, and Vikings before joining the Lions. His retirement brings to a close a career that spanned more than a decade in the league.
