Dan Campbell announced on Sunday that backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was stepping away from the team.
It leaves the Lions' quarterback room with just franchise signal-caller Jared Goff and rookie undrafted free agent signing Luke Altmyer.
Campbell confirmed that the Lions are targeting some veteran quarterback help after Bridgewater's departure.
"We're going to add somebody. We like Luke. Luke is growing, Luke is getting better. He just needs reps. He needs a million reps. But, the reps that he has gotten to this point, he has improved. And so we like him. But, we are going to add somebody and we'd like to add a veteran quarterback. We're hoping maybe something happens tomorrow. We'll see. But, yeah, that's the plan," Campbell said.
Bridgewater's exit means the Lions are looking to find someone like Bridgewater, who had 83 NFL regular-season games played and 65 career starts under his belt.
