Two weeks after leading his high school alma mater to a state championship, Teddy Bridgewater is returning to the NFL.
On Thursday, Bridgewater, 32, was signed to the Detroit Lions' active roster for the remainder of the season, the team announced.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he's been in contact with the veteran quarterback for some time.
"To be able to add somebody back here that's got experience," Campbell said. "He's staying in shape, he's throwing. It just brings a level of professionalism, veteran presence, somebody that's great for our team, he's great for the position.
