Altmyer impressing Lions with progress; expected heavy preseason reps.

Undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer, 23, from Illinois, is competing with Dobbs for the backup QB job. Altmyer has accumulated significant reps over the past three practices with Bridgewater out, and the Lions have been impressed with his progress. Coach Dan Campbell praised his development: 'We like Luke, Luke is growing, Luke is getting better, he just needs reps...he needs a million reps. But the reps that he has gotten to this point, he has improved.' Altmyer is expected to take a heavy load in preseason action, though Campbell indicated that giving him an entire game would be a big ask at this stage.
