Detroit Lions release QB David Blough, set to sign Nate Sudfeld as Jared Goff's backup, source says

The Detroit Lions are in need of a new backup for quarterback Jared Goff after releasing David Blough, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

The move leaves Goff as the only quarterback on the Lions roster at the moment, though they are expected to sign Nate Sudfeld, the source said.

Blough, 27, joined the Lions in an August 2019 trade with the Cleveland Browns and had spent the past three seasons in Detroit. He made five starts in the 2019 season, going 0-5, and has totaled 1,033 passing yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions in seven career games.
