Where did David Fales come from?

The team, instead, brought in former Houston Texans spot starter Tom Savage and local product Connor Cook to back up Matthew Stafford. Cook wouldn’t last very long before the team signed David Fales. Fales would start training camp as the team’s third quarterback, and while he technically had a chance to fight for the QB2 spot, it was apparent early on that this was no battle he could win.
