Sudfeld and the Lions agreed to a contract Friday.
What it means:
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 2023. Sudfeld has not thrown a pass in an NFL contest since 2020 and is unlikely to have much of an impact unless Goff goes down with an injury.

Sudfeld (illness) is active Sunday against the Vikings.
What it means:
Sudfeld didn't practice this week due to the illness, but he'll suit up Sunday against the Vikings. As long as Jared Goff stays healthy, Sudfeld will likely remain on the sidelines.

Sudfeld (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.
What it means:
Sudfeld didn't practice all week due to an illness, but he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If Sudfeld is deemed unavailable, the Lions would likely have to elevate practice-squad quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the active roster for Week 14, and he'd presumably operate as the primary backup behind Jared Goff.

Sudfield was signed by the Lions on Wednesday.
What it means:
Sudfield was cut by the 49ers on Tuesday, but he quickly found a new home with Detroit just one day later. The quarterback will operate as Jared Goff's only backup heading into the start of the regular season. David Blough was waived to create an open roster spot Wednesday.

The Lions are expected to sign Sudfeld upon his passing a physical Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
What it means:
The Lions have already cut the first of their two underwhelming backup QBs from this summer, Tim Boyle. David Blough would seem to be on the chopping block as well if Sudfeld indeed signs with the team.

Sudfeld is the Niners' starting quarterback for Saturday's preseason matchup at the Vikings, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
What it means:
Sudfeld was San Francisco's leading passer in the team's preseason opener vs. Green Bay, which was evidently enough to earn him the start for game two of the preseason with presumed starter Trey Lance sitting out. Pending a potential trade to send Jimmy Garoppolo elsewhere, Sudfeld is battling 2022 Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy for a backup spot on the initial 53-man roster, and he could give himself a leg up with another solid performance against Minnesota.
