Teddy Bridgewater is active as the Lions’ No. 2 quarterback

The Lions signed Teddy Bridgewater to their 53-man roster late in the regular season because they liked the idea of ​​having a quarterback with his experience on hand during the playoffs.

Bridgewater may end up doing more than just sharing the veteran’s wisdom. He’s active for Saturday’s game against the Leaders as Jared Goff’s backup, so he’ll be the next man up should anything happen to Goff in the game.

Hendon Hooker, who has been a reserve all season, is inactive as an emergency third baseman. Guard Kevin Zeitler and defensive lineman Pat O’Connor were ruled out during the week. Linebacker Mitchell Agodi, defensive tackle Broderick Martin, offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal, and tackle Giovanni Manno are also inactive.

Wide receiver KJ Osborn, quarterback Jeff Driskel, cornerback Michael Davis, running back Chris Rodriguez, linebacker Dominic Hampton, defensive end Andre Jones, and guard Chris Paul are inactive for Washington.
