Detriot Lions head coach Dan Campbell has come out and explained that the signing of Teddy Bridgewater is not a criticism of Hendon Hooker and his form.
The Thursday press conference gave Campbell the chance to explain the club’s decision to sign Bridgewater as a new quarterback, and he took it with both hands in a way that will leave Hooker feeling that he still has a chance to work his way back into the team.
Bridgewater has not been involved in the NFL so far this season and it seems that the Lions have given him a new opportunity to get back into the sport and show what he can do.

Hooker was the 2023 third-round pick and he had been serving as the deputy to Jared Goff all season, but the move is supposedly not in response to any perceived disappointment in the form of Hooker.
Campbell shares the details
Lions coach Campbell spoke about Bridgewater joining the team shortly after and expressed why this addition will be beneficial to Detroit for the remainder of the regular season and postseason run.
“I’ve been in contact with Teddy for a while, and it was something that was always potentially a possibility,” Campbell said.
“To be able to add somebody back here that’s got experience, he’s staying in shape, he’s been throwing. It just brings a level of professionalism, veteran presence, somebody that’s great for our team. He’s great for the position.”
