Impact Sudfeld joined the 49ers on Tuesday but his time with the team was short-lived. He was out of the league in 2024, so it's unclear when his next opportunity may come.

Released by Detroi The Lions are releasing Sudfeld, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact 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.

Draws another preseason start Sudfeld completed 14 of 27 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown while also throwing an interception in Saturday's 24-23 win over Kansas City.
Impact Sudfeld drew the start for the second straight contest at quarterback, playing 37 snaps in the victory. The 30-year-old and Hendon Hooker are vying for the top backup spot behind Jared Goff this season and as of right now, Sudfeld feels like he may have the slightest edge. Hooker played 40 snaps, recording 150 passing yards, 11 rushing yards and rushing touchdown versus Kansas City. The two quarterbacks will have one more chance to prove themselves in Detroit's final preseason game Saturday at home against the Steelers.

Lions looking into options for depth at quarterback with Hendon Hooker still in concussion protocol
Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker was still in concussion protocol, three days after he was injured in a preseason game against the New York GiantsAUGUST 11, 2024 • Associated Press
Struggles in preseason start Sudfeld completed 13 of 24 passes for 96 yards with one interception in Friday's 14-3 preseason loss to the Giants.
Impact Sudfeld got the start in the preseason opener but didn't lead Detroit's offense to a first down until the second quarter. Hendon Hooker subbed in after halftime but played only two drives before leaving the game due to a concussion. While Sudfeld's performance wasn't very encouraging, he appears to be the frontrunner for the second spot on Detroit's quarterback depth chart behind Jared Goff. With Hooker in concussion protocol, the Lions may add more competition to the quarterback room before their second preseason game in Kansas City next Saturday.

Taking part in training camp Sudfeld (knee) participated in Wednesday's training camp session, Paul Sancya of The Herald Journal reports.
Impact Sudfeld was photographed on the practice field Wednesday, and it looks like he's been medically cleared after having missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn ACL. He figures to spend training camp competing with second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker for the top backup gig behind Jared Goff.

Remains in Detroit Sudfeld (knee) re-signed with the Lions on Wednesday.
Impact Sudfeld missed all of last year after suffering a torn ACL in a preseason game against the Panthers. The 30-year-old operated as the team's backup quarterback to Jared Goff in 2022, and was competing with Teddy Bridgewater for that role last season before his injury. If he can make the Lions roster in 2024, he'll likely be the No. 3 option with Hendon Hooker behind Goff.

Returning to Detroit Sudfeld and the Lions agreed to a contract Friday.
Impact Sudfeld will be back in Detroit next season after spending the 2022 campaign with the team. He'll likely operate as the top backup behind starting quarterback Jared Goff once again in 2023. Sudfeld has not thrown a pass in an NFL regular-season contest since 2020 and is unlikely to have much of an impact unless Goff goes down with an injury.
