Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran quarterback Tim Boyle, the team announced Wednesday.

Boyle, 30, has played parts of six seasons for six teams, most recently for the New York Giants.

After seeing action in two games for the Miami Dolphins last season, Boyle signed with the Giants in November, bouncing between the practice squad and active roster before replacing an injured Tommy DeVito in a Dec. 15 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

In two games with the Dolphins and one for the Giants, Boyle went a combined 27-of-50 passing for 276 yards, one TD and one pick.

Boyle has passed for 1,210 yards and five TDs against 13 interceptions in 23 career games (five starts) with the Green Bay Packers (2019-20), Detroit Lions (2021), Chicago Bears (2022), New York Jets (2023), Dolphins and Giants.

Boyle will compete for playing time on the Titans with fellow quarterbacks Will Levis and Brandon Allen.

Giants QB Drew Lock in line to start vs. Falcons

Posted on | by Field Level Media

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock is on track to start on Sunday against rookie Michael Penix Jr. and the host Atlanta Falcons, head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday.

Lock sat out the Giants’ 35-14 loss to the visiting Baltimore Ravens last Sunday due to heel and left elbow injuries.

Tommy DeVito started against the Ravens and sustained a concussion late in the second quarter.

Tim Boyle replaced DeVito and completed 12 of 24 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his debut with the team. Boyle had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since New York signed him in November.

The Giants (2-12) will look to snap a nine-game losing skid on Sunday when they visit the Falcons (7-7).

New York has used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22.

Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 46-for-90 passing for 414 yards, no TDs and two interceptions in five games (two starts).

The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,697 yards with a 58.8 percent completion rate, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions in 33 career games (25 starts).

Tommy DeVito in concussion protocol as Giants sort through QB options

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Giants’ quarterback situation remains in flux, with head coach Brian Daboll announcing Monday that Tommy DeVito is in concussion protocol and Drew Lock is still recovering from heel and left elbow injuries.

“… We’ll see where these guys are at each day, and Wednesday, hopefully, they’ll be ready to go,” Daboll said at his press conference.

DeVito started Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens and was injured late in the second quarter. He exited after completing 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards in the 35-14 loss in East Rutherford, N.J.

Tim Boyle, who had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since the New York signed him in November, replaced DeVito for the remainder of the game and finished 12 of 24 for 123 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his Giants debut.

Daboll was asked if Boyle could be the starter when the Giants (2-12) visit the Atlanta Falcons (6-7) on Sunday.

“Well, it depends on how these other guys are health-wise, too,” Daboll said. “Again, I thought (Boyle) made some nice throws. He was decisive with the football. He was ready to go. He was prepared. He’s worked extremely hard since he’s been here. He made the most of his opportunity, the chance he got to be in there.”

The Giants have used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22. DeVito got a start but injured his forearm, and Lock started two games before hurting his heel against New Orleans on Dec. 8.

DeVito, 26, has played in three games this season (two starts) and is 31 of 44 for 257 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions.

He played in nine games as an undrafted rookie last season, starting six and going 3-3 with 1,101 passing yards, eight TDs and three picks.

Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 46-for-90 passing for 414 yards, no TDs and two interceptions in five games (two starts).

The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,697 yards with a 58.8 percent completion rate, 28 TDs and 25 interceptions in 33 career games (25 starts).

Boyle, 30, has played parts of six seasons for six teams, including Miami earlier this season. He appeared in two games with the Dolphins and one for the Giants for a combined 27-of-50 passing for 276 yards, one TD and one pick.

He has passed for 1,210 yards and five TDs against 13 interceptions in 23 games (five starts) in 23 career games (five starts).

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (concussion) out vs. Ravens

Posted on | by Field Level Media

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito suffered a concussion late in the second quarter and did not return to Sunday’s game against the visiting Baltimore Ravens in East Rutherford, N.J.

The Ravens’ defense applied consistent pressure against DeVito on the way to building a 21-7 halftime lead. Backup Tim Boyle took the field to take a knee on the final possession of the half.

DeVito remained in the game to complete a second-quarter touchdown drive after being driven to the turf on a roughing the passer penalty against Baltimore.

DeVito completed 10 of 13 passes for 68 yards. He was sacked twice, losing eight yards.

Reports: Tim Boyle joins Texans’ practice squad with C.J. Stroud ailing

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Houston Texans signed quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad on Tuesday, multiple reports said, while C.J. Stroud’s availability for Week 16 remains in doubt.

Stroud entered concussion protocol due to a head injury late in a Week 14 loss to the New York Jets. The Texans started Case Keenum last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans and won 19-16 in overtime.

Houston hasn’t officially ruled out a return by Stroud for this week’s home game against the Cleveland Browns, but ESPN and KPRC2 in Houston each reported that Stroud is expected to miss one more game as he remains in concussion protocol for now.

Boyle, 29, made three appearances and two starts for the Jets earlier this season when they benched Zach Wilson for a spell. Boyle went 48-for-77 passing (62.3 percent) for 360 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions and was abruptly released after losing both his starts.

Keenum is likely to remain the starter in Stroud’s absence, with Davis Mills behind him on the depth chart.

Keenum, 35, went 23-for-36 passing for 229 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Texans in his first game action of the season. The University of Houston product started his NFL career with the Texans in 2013-14 before spending time with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Washington, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in starting and backup roles.

Report: Jets to release QB Tim Boyle, sign Brett Rypien

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets, in a continuing quest to solve their quarterback issue, are releasing Tim Boyle and signing Brett Rypien from the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.

The Jets have been looking for answers at the position since Aaron Rodgers tore an Achilles tendon on the Jets’ first series of the season on Sept. 11. After backup Zach Wilson was ineffective, the Jets turned to Boyle, who started the past two games, both losses.

Head coach Robert Saleh yanked Boyle last Sunday in a 13-8 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Before he was replaced by Trevor Siemian, Boyle was 14-of-25 passing for 148 yards and a touchdown.

Boyle, 29, is winless in five career starts with the Jets and Detroit Lions (2021). He also has played for the Green Bay Packers (2019-20) and Chicago Bears (2022).

Rypien, 27, appeared in two games this season with the Los Angeles Rams, starting one. On the season, he’s 18-for-38 for 172 yards with an interception.

Following his sole start on Nov. 5, a 20-3 loss to the Packers, he was released by the Rams and later picked up by the Seahawks.

In 10 career games (four starts) with the Denver Broncos (2020-22) and Rams, Rypien has completed 58.3 percent of his passes for 950 yards with four touchdowns and nine interceptions. He is 2-2 as a starter.

Saleh has not named a starter for the Jets (4-8) against the Houston Texans (7-5) on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.

Coach: Tim Boyle to start for Jets again next week

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Tim Boyle will get another start at quarterback for the New York Jets, despite throwing for just 179 yards in a 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Friday.

The Jets (4-7) host the Atlanta Falcons on Dec. 3.

“Yeah, we’re giving Timmy another shot to roll next week,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said Saturday. “Obviously, there are things that he could have done better. There are things he had no control over. I know he battled out there. We were able to get to certain calls that we were hoping to. We were able to execute a lot of the different things that we wanted to execute. It just didn’t come to full fruition.”

Boyle took over the offense from Zach Wilson, who was benched after posting some less-than-stellar numbers as a fill-in for injured starter Aaron Rodgers: a 3-6 record, a 59.2 percent completion rate, six touchdown passes, seven interceptions and 38 sacks.

Boyle completed 27 of 38 passes for 179 yards with one touchdown pass, two interceptions and seven sacks for 49 yards against Miami. One of the interceptions came on a Hail Mary to end the first half that was returned 99 yards for a touchdown.

Wilson has fallen to No. 3 on the depth chart. Veteran Trevor Siemian is No. 2 behind Boyle.

Rodgers, who turns 40 next week, tore an Achilles in the first quarter of the season opener against the Buffalo Bills. He is working out with the team and hopes to return this season, but as the Jets fall further out of playoff contention, Saleh could put the brakes on that plan.

Report: Jets to sign QB Trevor Siemian

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets are signing quarterback Trevor Siemian to a contract, ESPN reported on Tuesday.

The move, pending a physical, will begin Siemian’s second stint with the Jets. Siemian previously played with the team in 2019.

Siemian, 31, joins Tim Boyle as backups behind Zach Wilson, who was thurst into the starting role after offseason acquisition Aaron Rodgers was injured during New York’s season-opening win over the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 11.

Wilson, however, has completed just 52.4 percent of his passes for 467 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions for the Jets (1-2).

Siemian signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in May but didn’t make the roster.

He appeared in two games for the Chicago Bears in 2022, going 0-1 as the starter in place of Justin Fields. Siemian threw for 184 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Siemian is 13-17 as a starter for the Denver Broncos, Jets, New Orleans Saints and Bears.

Report: Jets signing journeyman QB Tim Boyle

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets are signing veteran quarterback Tim Boyle to a one-year deal, NFL Network reported Thursday.

Boyle spent his first two seasons with Green Bay (2019-20) and reunites with Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who held the same role with the Packers.

And Boyle ultimately could be reunited with fellow signal-caller Aaron Rodgers if the Jets and Packers can work out a deal for the four-time Most Valuable Player.

Boyle, 28, has spent his entire career in the NFC North. He appeared in one game with the Chicago Bears last season and made his only three NFL starts with the Detroit Lions in 2021.

Boyle is 0-3 as a starter and has completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 574 yards with three touchdowns and eight interceptions in 17 career games.

Lions QB Jared Goff doubtful vs. Seahawks

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is doubtful to play Sunday at Seattle due to a knee injury, coach Dan Campbell told reporters Friday.

Goff missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and Tim Boyle is expected to start in his place when the Lions (2-12-1) visit the Seahawks (5-10).

It would be the second straight start and third of the season for Boyle, who led the team last week in a 20-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons while Goff was on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

In his first season in Detroit, the 27-year-old Goff is completing 67 percent of his passes for 3,007 yards with 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He said earlier this week that he has a knee strain.

Boyle, 27, is 0-2 as a starter. On the season, he has completed 39 of 57 pass attempts for 264 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions. He also started the Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns when Goff sat out with an oblique injury.
