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

DETROIT -- The Lions are going to the waiver wire to find a backup quarterback after they released Tim Boyle and David Blough.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Detroit was releasing Blough. The team cut Boyle on Tuesday.

The Lions are interested in bringing Blough back to their practice squad, but they are expected to sign former San Francisco 49ers backup Nate Sudfeld to help out Jared Goff, the source said.

Sudfeld, 28, made four appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2017 to 2020, throwing for 188 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
