Summary

Tyler Huntley and Teddy Bridgewater have found new homes, should the Lions have signed either of them? We discuss the Hendon Hooker/Kyle Allen predicament and plan. Detroit is not going to veer from their model right now and want to give these guys a chance to compete this preseason. Hooker will start on Friday night when the Lions take on the Falcons in Atlanta. Bridgewater headed to TB and Huntley to Cleveland. We also discuss the Ennis Rakestraw situation and the injury issues that plague him. Vikings WR Jordan Addison has been suspended and we have a Call of the Day.
