Sudfeld (illness) is active Sunday against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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 for Week 14, the Lions would likely elevate practice-squad quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the active roster to operate as the primary backup behind Jared Goff.

Sudfeld was signed by the Lions on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sudfeld 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 if he passes a physical Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
Sudfeld was San Francisco's leading passer in the team's preseason opener versus Green Bay, which evidently was enough to earn him the start for Week 2 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.

Sudfeld signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sudfeld spent the majority of the 2021 season on the 49ers' practice squad, but was elevated to the active roster and a gameday inactive on four occasions. He could occupy the backup role in 2022 if Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) is traded, but San Francisco would likely bring in more competition at the position if that is the case.

EDGE Analysis
Sudfeld was elevated to the active roster several times during the regular season but didn't appear in any games. He'll serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind starter Jimmy Garoppolo and backup Trey Lance on Sunday.

Sudfeld reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sudfeld was elevated to serve as Trey Lance's backup with Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) out against the Texans. The Indiana product could again get the call in Week 18 depending on Garappolo's health.

Sudfeld was elevated to the 49ers' active roster from the practice squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Sudfeld will be the No. 2 quarterback Sunday against the Texans, with Jimmy Garoppolo doubtful due to a thumb injury. Sudfeld has appeared in four NFL games in his career, all with Eagles and spread out between 2017 and 2020. The 28-year-old has completed 25 of 37 asses for 188 yards, with one touchdown and an interception in his career.
