Altmyer positioned to compete for QB2 role with majority preseason reps.

Following Teddy Bridgewater's retirement, Altmyer is positioned to compete for the QB2 role; the Lions signed Josh Dobbs for depth, but Altmyer is expected to get the majority of reps in the preseason opener vs. Cincinnati. Altmyer was targeted as an undrafted free agent for his experience and fit in a pro-style system and has played with confidence in training camp; a strong preseason performance could force the Lions to change their historical preference for a veteran backup.
