With the Thanksgiving matchup against the Chicago Bears just two days away, the Detroit Lions quarterback situation remains up in the air. With Matthew Stafford almost certainly ruled out with his broken backbones and backup Jeff Driskel slowed with a hamstring injury, David Blough could be the man under center on Thursday.
Blough took reps with the first-team offense for the first time in Tuesday’s practice, the last full team session on the short week. If Driskel’s hamstring doesn’t improve, the undrafted rookie from Purdue will get his first career action as a starter on national television.
Blough came to Detroit via a trade with the Cleveland Browns at the roster cutdown deadline, in part because he played well against the Lions in the preseason matchup between the two teams.
