Tim Boyle is back in Detroit. A week after cutting the backup quarterback, the Lions have signed Boyle to the team’s practice squad. Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network was the first to report the news.
It’s a curious decision by the Lions. Even though it’s just the practice squad and not the active 53-man roster, Boyle’s return indicates some showing of faith in Boyle. He was let go after failing to beat out David Blough for the No. 2 position in an offseason competition, a choice made easy for the Lions thanks to Boyle’s dreadful performance in the preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
