the backup quarterback position becomes a true battle between him and undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer.

Altmyer has familiarity edge but faces Dobbs in backup battle.

Altmyer, an undrafted rookie signed by the Lions after the 2026 NFL Draft, is now in a true backup quarterback battle with Joshua Dobbs. Altmyer has an extra few months of familiarity with the Lions system, but Dobbs' NFL experience could give him the edge. Drew Petzing views Altmyer as having an excellent opportunity to stake a claim at a roster spot and believes the Lions should give both Dobbs and Altmyer time in the preseason to show if reinforcements are truly needed.
