Mixed bag for Adrian last night
1. Bad - Bridgewater did well
Teddy Bridgewater
Bridgewater had some rust to knock off
after signing with the Lions in early August, and still does, but he looked much more comfortable in Friday’s preseason finale than he did in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bridgewater played the entire first half Friday, completing 13 of 22 passes for 178 yards with a long touchdown to Antoine Green. "He was in a good spot, he was in a flow," Lions coach Dan Campbell said. "He had great command of the offense, and so it’s just, there again, time on task under our system and it was good to see. I thought he made some good throws today."
2. Good - Lions may be forced to let Sudfeld go
Sudfeld appeared to hyperextend his knee on his only series Friday, when he crumbled to the ground while trying to avoid a diving tackle on the Panthers' sideline. Campbell indicated Sudfeld could miss time with his injury, and that could throw a wrench in the Lions’ plans at quarterback. The Lions are too deep to keep an injured third quarterback, with Hendon Hooker already due back later this fall. That could leave them with two choices: place Sudfeld on injured reserve and end his season, or release him with an injury settlement, which would prevent him from immediately re-signing to the practice squad.
3. Bad - did not distinguish himself
