  • Logs three appearances in 2024

    Boyle completed 27 of 50 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing three times for nine yards over three games (two with Miami and one with the Giants) during the regular season.

    Analysis: All three of Boyle's appearances came as a backup -- he replaced Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley in separate games while with Miami, then stepped in for Tommy DeVito in Week 15 as a member of the Giants. That's reflective of his role throughout his career, as Boyle has started just five times in 23 NFL regular-season games. Boyle will be an unrestricted free agent when the campaign comes to a close, and he's likely to work as either a backup or a practice-squad member in an NFL organization…read more

  • Emergency QB for Week 18

    Boyle (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyle will serve as the Giants' third-string emergency quarterback Sunday behind starter Drew Lock and backup Tommy DeVito. Boyle will only be allowed to see the field if both Lock and DeVito were to exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Emergency QB Sunday

    Boyle (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The third quarterback would need starter Drew Lock and backup Tommy DeVito to get injured, sick or ejected to be able to enter the contest. Boyle has appeared in one game since signing with the Giants in November, and that came when Lock was out with an injury and DeVito had to exit due to a concussion.

  • Working as emergency QB vs. ATL

    Boyle (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons and will serve as New York's emergency third quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyle was active for last Sunday's loss to Baltimore and played all of the second half due to Tommy DeVito exiting with a concussion. However, Boyle has since cleared the NFL's five-step protocol, and Drew Lock is returning to start after missing last Sunday due to injury, so Boyle will be pushed back to the emergency QB role. He'll be able to enter Sunday's game only if both Lock and DeVito are unable to play due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Fills in following DeVito exit

    Boyle entered Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday with 27 seconds remaining in the second quarter for Tommy DeVito (concussion) and completed 12 of 24 passes for 123 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also rushed once for minus-1 yard.

    Analysis: Boyle took a knee on his first play from scrimmage to end the first half and then played the entirety of the last two quarters. Considering the circumstances, Boyle was serviceable, throwing a 23-yard touchdown pass to Malik Nabers in the fourth quarter along the way. The journeyman signal-caller could conceivably be called on to start a Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons if both DeVito and Drew Lock (heel) are unavailable.

  • Signed from practice squad

    Boyle has been signed from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyle signed with the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, and this move suggests he'll operate as the team's emergency quarterback Sunday behind Drew Lock (heel/left elbow) and Tommy DeVito. Boyle could be promoted to a backup role in case Lock is unable to go Sunday, but he'd need an injury to DeVito to have a shot at seeing the field against Baltimore.

  • Re-signs to practice squad

    Boyle signed to the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyle signed to the Giants' practice squad in November before moving up to the active roster to serve as the third quarterback behind Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock. Boyle was waived on Saturday ahead of New York's 14-11 loss to the Saints on Sunday, but Lock needed X-rays for an undisclosed injury after the defeat. New York coach Brian Daboll said Lock would remain the starter if he's healthy enough to go next Sunday against the Ravens, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record.

  • Let go by Big Blue

    The Giants waived Boyle on Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyle was signed to the Giants' 53-man roster Nov. 23 to serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock. Assuming he clears waivers, Boyle will look to catch on with a team in need of a practice squad quarterback, though he could opt to remain with the Giants.

  • Signed to 53

    Boyle was signed to the Giants' 53-man roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: The Giants could have used multiple practice-squad elevations with Boyle, but the team evidently wanted to prioritize its quarterback No. 3. Tommy DeVito will start Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, with veteran Drew Lock slated to be his backup.

  • Signs with G-Men

    The Giants signed Boyle to their practice squad Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: It appears the Giants are doing everything they can to avoid playing Daniel Jones again this season, even in an emergency, Stapleton believes. Since announcing Jones' benching on Monday, the Giants have said Tommy DeVito will be the starter the remainder of the season, with Boyle signed to the practice squad. Drew Lock is expected to serve as DeVito's backup, and Jones will likely be inactive on game days. Jones has essentially become the team's QB4.

  • Let go by Miami

    The Dolphins released Boyle on Saturday.

    Analysis: Boyle could be a candidate to resurface on Miami's practice squad, but with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) now off IR, the Dolphins don't intend to roster three quarterbacks. Tyler Huntley (shoulder) has shifted to IR, meanwhile, leaving Skylar Thompson positioned to work as Tagovailoa's backup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, assuming the franchise QB is indeed cleared to return to action.

  • Sees action in relief

    Boyle completed eight of 13 passes for 74 passes after replacing Tyler Huntley (shoulder) in the third quarter of Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts. He added four rushing yards on his lone carry.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old quarterback failed to produce points on any of his four drives under center, although Jason Sanders did clank a 54-yard field-goal attempt off the left upright in the fourth quarter. Boyle also saw brief action in Week 3 in relief of Skylar Thompson (ribs), but he could be pressed into duty for a start in Week 8 against the Cardinals if none of Huntley, Thompson or Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) are able to play. Miami doesn't currently have a quarterback on its practice squad, so…read more

  • Signed to active roster

    The Dolphins signed Boyle from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyle has served as the Dolphins' backup quarterback to Tyler Huntley while Skylar Thompson has been sidelined due to a rib injury. Thompson was a full participant in all three practices coming out of the bye, but if he cannot suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, Boyle will presumably be the No. 2 quarterback behind Huntley.

  • Bumped back down

    Boyle reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Boyle was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Patriots, and operated as Tyler Huntley's backup but never got on the field.

  • Back with Miami

    The Dolphins signed Boyle to the practice squad and elevated him to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Boyle was released by the Dolphins on Friday, but as a vested veteran, he can rejoin the practice squad and be elevated immediately. He served as Miami's backup quarterback for Week 4 against the Titans due to Skylar Thompson (ribs) being inactive. Thompson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but if he's unable to suit up, Boyle will once again serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Tyler Huntley.

  • Let go by Miami

    Boyle was released by the Dolphins on Friday.

    Analysis: Boyle's release suggests the Dolphins are optimistic that Skylar Thompson (ribs) will be available to back up Tyler Huntley against the Patriots on Sunday, though Thompson officially is listed as questionable. It's possible that Miami intends to quickly sign Boyle to the practice squad so he can be available as the emergency third quarterback this weekend.

  • Newly minted backup

    Boyle is set to be the backup to newly announced starter Tyler Huntley ahead of Monday's primetime matchup against the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyle didn't do much in replacement of the injured Skylar Thompson (ribs) during the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Seahawks, completing seven of his 13 passes for 79 yards over effectively two quarters. However, with Thompson listed as questionable in advance of Monday's contest and Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on IR, Boyle is slated to work as Huntley's primary backup versus Tennessee.

  • Replaces injured Thompson in loss

    Boyle replaced Skylar Thompson (rib) with 9:25 remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks and completed seven of 13 passes for 79 yards while adding one rush for six yards.

    Analysis: The journeyman's experience came in handy during a forgettable afternoon for the Dolphins in the Pacific Northwest, as Boyle was at least serviceable in relief of Thompson. Thompson had started the game in place of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), and with the former now dealing with a notable injury as well, Boyle could suit up again in the Dolphins' next game Week 4 against the Titans on Sept. 30. However, Boyle may not be the Dolphins' top choice to start if Thompson isn't available, as Miami…read more

  • Signed to Fins' active roster

    The Dolphins signed Boyle off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Boyle signed with the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the Texans' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. He'll join Miami's active roster and is expected to serve as the emergency quarterback Sunday against the Seahawks behind starter Skylar Thompson and backup Tyler Huntley.

  • Added to Dolphins' practice squad

    Boyle signed with Miami's practice squad Thursday.

    Analysis: Boyle was released by the Texans on Tuesday after Houston opted to keep C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills as the only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Boyle will now serve as the Dolphins' practice squad quarterback and operate as the emergency option behind Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson. Boyle has been a journeyman quarterback for his career, having appeared in 20 regular-season games with four different teams over the last five years.

  • Cut by Houston

    The Texans are slated to release Boyle on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Boyle spent the preseason behind C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills on Houston's depth chart, so while the team could be interested in bringing him back via the practice squad, he never had a clear path to a spot on the 53-man roster. Last season, Boyle suited up for three games with the Jets.

  • Third QB used Friday

    Boyle completed four of eight attempts for 28 yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Boyle was the third quarterback used following C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills. That he was used ahead of the 36-year-old Case Keenum likely doesn't suggest a change in the depth chart.

  • Back at practice

    Boyle returned to practice Thursday after receiving stitches on his finger last week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Boyle missed just over a week of OTAs while recovering from this injury. The 29-year-old quarterback is vying for a spot on the 53-man roster as a backup to C.J. Stroud, but he faces a tough test with Davis Mills and Case Keenum also on the roster.

  • Needs stitches

    Boyle suffered a cut on his finger during OTAs on Monday, which required stitches, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Boyle suffered the injury while taking a snap during practice and is expected to miss about a week, according to Wilson. The veteran quarterback is working to earn a spot on the Texans' QB depth chart behind C.J. Stroud and is competing with Davis Mills and Case Keenum.

  • Signs future deal with Houston

    The Texans signed Boyle to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Analysis: Boyle landed in Houston last month with a practice-squad deal following his departure from the Jets. In three games (two starts) with New York in 2023, he completed 62.3 percent of his 77 pass attempts for 360 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions, while absorbing nine sacks and fumbling twice. Boyle will look to make it to training camp with the Texans behind C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills.

    The Texans signed Boyle to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Boyle will head to Houston after completing 48 of 77 of his passes for 360 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in three games for the Jets earlier this season. The 29-year-old will now serve as a depth option if C.J. Stroud (concussion) is unable to play Sunday versus the Browns.

    Analysis: Boyle served as the Jets' starting quarterback Weeks 12 and 13 and managed to complete 41 of 63 passes for 327 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, while recording three carries for four yards and fumbling twice (none lost). He was pulled from this past Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons in favor of Trevor Siemian, and two days later he'll now find himself without an employer.

  • Benched for Siemian in second half

    Boyle completed 14 of 25 passes for 148 yards, no touchdowns and one interception prior to being benched in the second half of Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons. He added two yards on one rushing attempt.

    Analysis: Boyle's longest pass of the game came on a 36-yard pass to Xavier Gipson off a flea flicker, which set up a second-quarter field goal. He also led a drive that ended in a field goal in the third, but an egregious interception on New York's final offensive play of the third quarter led to Boyle's benching. Trevor Siemian wasn't any better after taking over in the fourth quarter. Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) won't be ready to play in Week 14 against the Texans even in the most optimistic scenario, so…read more

    Coach Robert Saleh has confirmed that Boyle will remain the Jets' starting QB for the team's Dec. 3 contest against the Falcons, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site and Rich Cimini of ESPN.com report.

    Analysis: In Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins, Boyle (while replacing Zach Wilson as the team's starting signal caller) completed 27 of 38 passes for 179 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. In his upcoming start versus Atlanta, Boyle isn't a high-percentage lineup option, but he does offer an alternative for fantasy managers in QB-heavy formats as well those impacted by Week 13 byes.

  • Fails to ignite offense in start

    Boyle completed 27 of 38 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins. He added two yards on two rushing attempts.

    Analysis: Boyle mustered just 35 passing yards in the first half, which he capped with a Hail Mary attempt that resulted in a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown, stunting the momentum the Jets built up from a pick-six of their own less than a minute earlier. He finally led the offense into Miami territory for the first time in the fourth quarter, only to throw a red-zone interception. On the next drive, Boyle threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson. Prior to bolstering his stats with…read more

    Head coach Robert Saleh announced Monday that Boyle will serve as the Jets' starting quarterback for Friday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Confirming media reports from earlier Monday, Saleh said that Boyle will step in as the Jets' top signal-caller this week as a replacement for Zach Wilson, who will be active as the No. 3 quarterback against Miami while practice-squad member Trevor Siemian handles the top backup role. While the Jets appear unlikely to turn the offense back over to Wilson anytime soon on the heels of a three-game losing streak, Boyle won't necessarily be guaranteed any starts beyond Friday, especially with a…read more

    Analysis: Boyle replaced Zach Wilson in the second half of Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills, and though he completed just seven of 14 passes for 33 yards and one interception, the veteran journeyman will receive an opportunity to command New York's offense. Wilson, for his part, completed seven of 15 passes for 81 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

  • In contention to start Week 12

    Boyle completed seven of 14 passes for 33 yards and one interception while rushing once for one yard after replacing the benched Zach Wilson in the second half of Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills. Coach Robert Saleh said after the loss that he's undecided on whether Boyle or Wilson will start against the Dolphins on Friday.

    Analysis: The Jets will spend the next few days trying to figure out their Week 12 starter, though Boyle didn't help his case with a putrid performance in relief of the ineffective Wilson, who threw for 81 yards, one touchdown and one interception prior to being benched. Neither quarterback appears likely to jump-start the Jets' sputtering offense on Black Friday against Miami, while Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) isn't particularly close to returning.

  • Officially joins active roster

    The Jets signed Boyle off their practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: In the wake of Aaron Rodgers' torn left Achilles, Boyle is now in line to back up Zach Wilson under center. The Jets opted to stay in-house for the initial solution at quarterback on a short week, but it still seems likely they will add a veteran at some point. In the meantime, Boyle will operate as the No. 2 option.

    The Jets are expected to elevate Boyle for Sunday's game at Dallas, Ethan B. Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Working on a short week in the wake of Aaron Rodgers' torn left Achilles, New York will stay in-house for the direct backup to Zach Wilson in his first start of the campaign. Thereafter, it seems likely the team will add a veteran quarterback at some point, but acclimation to the system may mean Boyle remains the No. 2 option for at least the next handful of games.

    Boyle signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The Jets released Boyle on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyle showed steady improvement over the Jets' three preseason games, but his performances weren't enough to land him a spot on the 53-man roster. Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson will begin the year as the team's two active quarterbacks, while Boyle could land on the team's practice squad if he doesn't find work elsewhere.

    Analysis: Boyle played the entire second half after Zach Wilson threw for 123 yards and one touchdown in the first half. After being picked off on his first drive in the game, Boyle led touchdown drives capped by scores of five and four yards, respectively, to tight ends E.J. Jenkins and Zack Kuntz. Boyle isn't a threat to surpass Aaron Rodgers or Wilson on the depth chart, but after New York released Chris Streveler earlier in the week, there's nobody left to challenge Boyle for the third-string…read more

    Boyle completed six of 11 passes for 61 yards in Thursday's 21-16 preseason loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Boyle was in the game for New York's only touchdown drive, which was capped by a 10-yard Israel Abanikanda run in the second quarter. He came into the game after Zach Wilson and before Chris Streveler, suggesting Boyle has the upper hand on Streveler for the third-string quarterback job. Given Boyle's career 3:8 TD:INT in the NFL, he isn't a threat to usurp Wilson as Aaron Rodgers' backup.

    Analysis: Boyle will reunite with new Jets offensive coordinator Nathanial Hackett, who the signal-caller worked with while both were with Green Bay in 2019 and 2020. The 28-year-old will presumably serve as a backup for his new team, which currently has Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler on the roster at the QB position.

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Boyle (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers.

    Analysis: Boyle will sit this one out with Justin Fields and Trevor Siemian both healthy. His next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15, with the Bears on a bye next week.

  • Headed to Chicago

    The Bears signed Boyle to their active roster from Detroit's practice squad Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: With both Justin Fields (shoulder) and Trevor Siemian (oblique) listed as questionable for Week 13, Chicago saw fit to add Boyle as a short-term insurance policy. There's a shot Boyle could be thrust into a starting role immediately, but as long as one of the aforementioned signal callers is available Sunday, Boyle should fill a reserve role.

  • Joins Detroit's practice squad

    The Lions signed Boyle to their practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Boyle signed with the Lions last year and operated as the primary backup to Jared Goff. He drew three starts over five games and completed 61 of 94 passes for 526 yards with a 3:6 TD:INT ratio during that stretch. The Lions waived David Blough and released Boyle before signing Nate Sudfeld to be the primary backup to Jared Goff to start the 2022 campaign, but Boyle will return to the team as an emergency option on the practice squad.

  • Dropped by Detroit

    Boyle was released by the Lions on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Boyle's tenure in Detroit will come to an end after just one season in a backup role with the team. The 27-year-old signal-caller saw the most significant playing time of his career in 2021, completing 61 of his 94 passes for 526 yards and a 3:6 TD:INT ratio over five games with three starts in place of an injured Jared Goff. However, Boyle appears to have lost out to David Blough for the Lions' No. 2 quarterback spot this preseason, and he will now likely look to land a practice-squad deal…read more

  • Underwhelming in preseason finale

    Boyle completed five of 15 passes for 64 yards with one interception while rushing once for minus-1 yard during Sunday's 19-9 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Boyle got the start but didn't do much of anything outside of putting together a scoring drive that ended in a field goal. Meanwhile, David Blough put forth a better performance for the second straight week and ended the game with a touchdown to Quintez Cephus. With head coach Dan Campbell wanting to keep just two quarterbacks on the active roster this season, it would be somewhat of a surprise if Boyle survives roster cuts this week.

    The Lions announced Thursday that Boyle will be the starting quarterback for the team's preseason finale against the Steelers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Detroit coach Dan Campbell added Thursday that fellow backup David Blough will also see plenty of playing time against Pittsburgh. Campbell also maintained that the competition for the team's No. 2 quarterback job remains open heading into the Aug. 30 deadline for final cuts. Boyle had an up-and-down performance last time out this preseason against the Falcons (9-of-16 passing, 1:1 TD:INT), so Sunday's matchup will likely serve as his final opportunity to lock up a spot on the Lions' 53-man…read more

  • Mixed results in preseason opener

    Boyle completed nine of 16 passes for 111 yards with one touchdown and one interception during Friday's preseason game against Atlanta.

    Analysis: With the Lions looking to keep only two quarterbacks on the active roster this year, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Boyle did not do himself many favors in this one. Not only was he generally outplayed by David Blough, but Boyle threw a bad interception early in the third quarter after airmailing an open receiver downfield in the second. However, Blough's game-losing mental error in the fourth quarter -- in which he fumbled the snap when Detroit could have run out the clock -- may…read more

    Analysis: Boyle's contract includes $1.75 million in guaranteed money, with another $500,000 in incentives. The 27-year-old signal-caller started three games for the Lions last season, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns in each contest and only exceeding 200 passing yards once. However, Detroit appears satisfied enough with Boyle's ability to helm the offense under emergency circumstances, and he's now positioned to reprise a familiar role as the No. 2 option behind Jared Goff unless further…read more

    Boyle completed 61 of 94 passes for 526 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions over five game appearances in 2021. He added 13 rushing yards on two carries.

    Analysis: On the surface, Boyle was beyond underwhelming as a fill-in starter during the three games that Jared Goff missed this season. The Eastern Kentucky product threw more picks than touchdowns in each appearance while clearing 200 yards once and averaging 5.6 yards per pass attempt, which would have ranked last among starting QBs if Boyle had attempted enough passes to make the leaderboard.

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that he's proceeding as though Boyle will be the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's season finale versus the Packers, but Jared Goff (knee) could reclaim the job if he demonstrates progress in practice this week, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Boyle made his second and third starts of the season in losses to the Falcons and Seahawks in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively, after Goff missed both games, first due to a positive COVID-19 test and then due to a strained knee. Since Goff wasn't able to practice in any fashion last week on account of the injury, he may need to upgrade to full activity by Friday for the Lions to feel confident enough with his health to reinsert him into the lineup for a largely meaningless Week 18 game.

    Boyle completed 22 of 37 passes for 262 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle. He added 14 rushing yards on one attempt.

    Analysis: Boyle didn't do much until Detroit was down 38-7 minutes into the third quarter, which the Eastern Kentucky product had opened with an interception on the first offensive play. While Boyle subsequently was able to pad his stats with a couple of touchdowns to Amon-Ra St. Brown and offensive tackle Taylor Decker, the Lions were never really in the game thanks to a terrible defensive showing that admittedly would be hard for any quarterback to overcome.

Boyle fared far better last week in the Lions' 20-16 loss to Atlanta than he did in his Detroit debut Week 11 in Cleveland, completing 24 of his first 33 attempts for 187 yards and a touchdown before throwing a game-ending interception at the goal line in the final minute.

    Analysis: Detroit has yet to officially add Goff back to the 53-man roster, but that transaction is merely a formality now that the signal-caller has been cleared to report back to the Lions' team facility. While Goff was unable to practice this past week before he was deactivated in advance of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Boyle stepped in for his second start of the season.

However, that's not saying much, and the game ended on a sour note after Boyle blew Detroit's comeback attempt by throwing a pick near Atlanta's goal line in the closing minutes of regulation.

The first one didn't exactly go swimmingly back in Week 11, when he was 15-for-23 passing for 77 yards and two interceptions in a 13-10 loss at Cleveland.

    Analysis: Goff has continued to test positive for COVID-19 since initially contracting the virus Monday, and the Lions aren't confident that he'll either test negative on two consecutive occasions 24 hours apart or show diminished symptoms, which he'll need to do in order to clear the NFL's return-to-play protocol. Boyle has taken first-team reps in practice all week sans Goff and is primed to make his second start in six weeks, after the latter was previously sidelined with an oblique injury Week 11.…read more

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell wouldn't commit to Boyle being the team's starting quarterback if Jared Goff (reserve/COVID-19 list) isn't available this Sunday in Atlanta, perhaps suggesting David Blough could be an option as well, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Goff was placed on the list Monday and still has a chance to return in time for Sunday's game if he's asymptomatic of the virus. If not, the Lions will turn to Boyle or Blough, likely waiting until later in the week to name a starter. Boyle was brutal in his one start this year, throwing for 77 yards with two interceptions in a 13-10 loss to the Browns in Week 11.

    Analysis: Though Goff was one of the NFL's least productive starting quarterbacks through the first 10 weeks of the season, he still performed far better than Boyle, who returned from injured reserve last week and picked up his first NFL start while Goff was sidelined with the oblique injury.

He had attempted only four passes prior to Sunday's game, but he was called upon with Jared Goff (oblique) sidelined. Boyle wasn't asked to do much, as he took to the air only 23 times.

    Coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Boyle (thumb) will be the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart when he is activated from injured reserve, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Boyle underwent thumb surgery Aug. 30 and has been on injured reserve since the start of the regular season. He was designated to return ahead of Week 10, but he remained inactive, as David Blough operated as the backup to Jared Goff. However, Campbell's comments made it clear that the backup gig is Boyle's when he is officially added to the active roster, which could prove meaningful as Goff is currently battling an oblique injury.

    Analysis: Boyle is expected to miss up to eight weeks due to thumb surgery he underwent in late August, so it's no surprise to see him beginning the regular season on IR.

    Analysis: The Lions brought in Boyle from Green Bay to serve as Jared Goff's backup on a one-year $2.5 million contract. But his time under center during exhibition season has been anything but crisp, combining for 22-for-29 passing (56.4 percent), 135 yards and one touchdown versus no interceptions across three games.

    Analysis: With Chase Daniel no longer on the roster, Boyle and David Blough are the top depth options for Detroit at quarterback. Since Boyle is being paid like a top-10 backup quarterback while Blough is making near the league minimum, it's no surprise that Boyle is considered the favorite for the No. 2 role, especially after the former Green Bay signal-caller drew consistently positive reviews throughout spring workouts.

Boyle took a few knees in blowout games and threw his first NFL passes in a blowout loss to the 49ers in Week 12, but he otherwise stayed on the sidelines while Rodgers stayed healthy.
