The Lions signed Montez to the practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Montez spent the 2021 campaign with Detroit's practice squad before landing a reserve/future contract with the team at the end of the season. The 2020 undrafted free agent was then waived in May, and he has gone unsigned since. Montez now figures to serve as the Lions' de facto No. 3 quarterback behind Jared Goff and Nate Sudfeld, as Joshua Dobbs was signed off of the team's practice squad by Tennessee on Wednesday.

The Lions waived Montez on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montez went undrafted out of Colorado and was signed by Washington as a free agent in 2020 and later joined the Lions' practice squad in 2021. The 6-foot-5 quarterback is still looking to make his NFL debut.

Montez was signed to a reserve/future contract with the Falcons on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Montez went undrafted out of Colorado and was signed by Washington as a free agent in 2020. After his year in Washington he linked up with the Lions and spent 2021 on their practice squad.

Montez (illness) was restored to the Lions' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montez was placed on the COVID list at the start of the week but was able to clear the protocols relatively quickly. The 24-year-old has yet to make his NLF debut since going undrafted out of Colorado in 2020.

Montez was placed on the Lions' practice squad/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montez went undrafted out of Colorado and joined the Lions' practice squad after being let go by Washington during training camp. He'll now try to get healthy and be ready if called upon over the last two weeks of the Lions' season.

Washington waived Montez on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montez did not appear in NFL action as an undrafted rookie in 2020, as he spent most of the season on Washington's practice squad. He could secure a similar role for the 2021 campaign if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Montez finished his rookie season without appearing in a game.

EDGE Analysis

The undrafted rookie out of Colorado spent most of the year on Washington's practice squad, eventually bumping up to the active roster for Weeks 15-17 and the wild-card round of the playoffs. Montez never actually took a snap, and he'll likely need to compete for a reserve QB role in the offseason.

Montez was promoted to Washington's active roster Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montez's promotion to the active roster comes on the heels of Dwayne Haskins' release, as starter Alex Smith (calf) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Montez reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Montez was active for Washington's Week 16 loss to the Panthers, but he never reached the field. With Dwayne Haskins having been waived by the team on Monday following a three-turnover outing against Carolina, Montez may very well receive another call-up for Washington's Week 17 road trip to Philadelphia.

Washington elevated Montez to the active roster Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alex Smith (calf) is expected to start if he's healthy, but he's still considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Dwayne Haskins is slated to start if Smith can't go. Montez and Taylor Heinicke are potential backups Sunday.
