Free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is set to rejoin the Detroit Lions, the team he played with during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Bridgewater's NFL career began in 2014 after being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. He experienced a significant setback in 2016 due to a severe left knee injury that threatened to end his career.
Despite the severity of the injury, Bridgewater made an inspirational comeback in 2017. His career since then has included stints with the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, and the Buccaneers. He also briefly retired after the 2023 season to become a high school football coach, leading his alma mater to a state title before ending his retirement.
