Allen Park — The Detroit Lions officially announced the signing of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Thursday as part of a handful of moves ahead of the team's preseason opener. The biggest surprise from the transactions was the retirement of running back Justin Jackson, who had been on track for a roster spot as a key contributor on special teams.
To replace Jackson, the Lions signed running back Benny Snell. A fourth-round pick out of Kentucky in 2019, Snell has spent the past four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he amassed nearly 1,100 yards from scrimmage and scored seven touchdowns.
