Ley go by Detroit
The Lions cut Sudfeld on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sudfeld worked ahead of Hendon Hooker in Detroit's first two preseason games and was then rested for the final contest, but the Lions apparently prefer the second-year pro over his 30-year-old counterpart. While Sudfeld could still end up back with the team in some capacity, the willingness to make him available to other teams suggests Hooker is now the preferred backup to Jared Goff.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to open as Detroit's QB2
Sudfeld is likely to open the season as Detroit's primary backup quarterback behind Jared Goff, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Lions also have rookie third-round pick Hendon Hooker in addition to Goff and Sudfeld, but Hooker is recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions have already stated they intend to use this season as a redshirt year for Hooker, so Sudfeld could maintain the No. 2 spot even after Hooker comes back. If Hooker is placed on the non-football injury list, he wouldn't take up a roster spot to begin the year and would need to sit out at least the first four games of the season.
