Lions re-sign backup QB Sudfeld

Allen Park — For a minute there, Jared Goff was the only quarterback on the Detroit Lions' roster.

That's no longer the case after the team announced Friday they've re-signed Nate Sudfeld, who backed up Goff last season.

After a training camp competition between David Blough and Tim Boyle failed to net a solution last offseason, the Lions signed Sudfeld shortly before Week 1 of the regular season. Unlike the previous year, when Goff missed multiple games due to injury, Sudfeld wasn't needed, outside of nine snaps in the closing minutes of games where the result was already in hand.
