Allen Park — A day after establishing the team's initial 53-man roster, the Detroit Lions are swapping out backup quarterbacks.
The Lions are signing former Eagles and 49ers quarterback Nate Sudfeld and waiving David Blough, a team source confirmed.
A sixth-round draft pick out of Indiana in 2016, Sudfeld spent his rookie season with Washington, but was inactive during each of the team's 16 regular season contests.
Joining the Eagles practice squad the following year, he wound up spending three seasons with the franchise, appearing in four games in relief. In those contests, the 6-foot-6 Sudfeld completed 25-of-37 passes for 188 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
