Luke Altmyer prepares for increased role after Teddy Bridgewater's retirement

Rookie quarterback Luke Altmyer will see significant playing time in the Lions' first preseason game against the Bengals. Following Teddy Bridgewater's retirement, Altmyer becomes the only quarterback backing Jared Goff on the roster.

Altmyer expressed gratitude for learning from Bridgewater and Goff and is focused on making a strong impression during his opportunities.
