Hendon Hooker is being challenged by the Lions to reclaim his QB2 role, with veteran journeyman Kyle Allen joining the roster in free agency.

Allen is a seven-year veteran with stints in Carolina (2018-2019), Washington (2020-21), Houston (2022), Buffalo (2023) and Pittsburgh (2024). He's made 19 career starts with a 62.7 completion percentage, recording 26 touchdowns, 21 interceptions and a 7-12 record in those starts.

The Detroit Lions are strong at the top of their depth chart, but training camp battles will always be plentiful this time of year.
