When Detroit Lions writers arrived in Allen Park on Monday morning, they were met with a surprise on the roster sheet. New Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was listed with the No. 50. However, when Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media, he said Bridgewater didn’t have a number yet.
“He may not have a number today, just so you know,” Campbell said. “He may be in red, but we’re working through that.”
Indeed, during practice later in the day, Bridgewater played with a red jersey with no number on the front or back.
But the veteran backup quarterback confirmed in his post-practice press conference that he would indeed be wearing the number 50 for the preseason.
