Detroit Lions quarterback Nate Sudfeld (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the third quarter of the preseason finale on Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, according to sources. Sudfeld will now be forced to miss the entire 2023 season. It's a hit to Detroit's QB depth behind Jared Goff, especially with rookie Hendon Hooker (knee) taking a redshirt year in 2023. As things currently stand on Detroit's roster, Teddy Bridgewater will be Goff's primary backup, with only undrafted rookie Adrian Martinez behind him. The Lions will most likely add another body to the QB room before the start of the regular season in two weeks.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett completed 16 of his 28 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also added 11 rushing yards on three carries. Pickett had by far his best performance of the season on Sunday night, passing for multiple scores for the first time in his young career. He connected with wide receiver Calvin Austin III on a deep ball for a 72-yard touchdown in the first quarter and later found tight end Pat Freiermuth in the end zone from 13 yards out. Although Pickett himself is not yet on the fantasy radar in most formats, this showing was a good sign for the outlook of Pittsburgh's offensive weapons. A bout with the Houston Texans is on tap for Week 4.
