From the article

Luke Altmyer nearly got the entire game, but Josh Dobbs stepped in during the second quarter. At first, it appeared the Lions may have benched Altmyer after he fumbled, but coach Dan Campbell clarified after the game that the plan was always to give Dobbs some reps with the "starting" offensive line. With a strong performance from Altmyer, it'll be fascinating to see if he can win the backup job over Dobbs.

Altmyer's strong preseason debut puts backup job competition with Dobbs in play.

Altmyer played 44 snaps (67%) in the preseason opener against Cincinnati, nearly getting the entire game before Josh Dobbs entered in the second quarter. Coach Dan Campbell clarified the substitution was planned to give Dobbs reps with the starting offensive line, not a benching. With a strong performance from Altmyer, the source notes it'll be fascinating to see if he can win the backup job over Dobbs, though Detroit's early reps for the veteran Dobbs suggest they want him ready as the primary backup.
