Orlovsky completed eight of 14 passes for 83 yards and an interception in Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Orlovsky was much better in Detroit's first preseason game, and in any case, he doesn't appear to have competition for the top backup job. If the Lions do retain sixth-round rookie Jake Rudock, it will likely just be as the No. 3 quarterback, which usually comes with inactive status on gamedays.
