The Detroit Lions announced four roster moves on Thursday, confirming the signing of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and the release of offensive lineman Logan Stenberg, while also making it known that running back Justin Jackson was retiring from the NFL and the team was signing running back Benny Snell to take his place on the roster.
The Bridgewater news has been expected since the beginning of the week, and now that the contract details were agreed upon on Wednesday night, this move was anticipated. Bridgewater is not expected to play in the Lions' first preseason game on Friday night against the Giants, but he is expected to join the Lions for next week's training camp practices.
