Tight end Nick Boyle is known more for his blocking, but he made a pair of nice diving catches in Tuesday’s practice, including one leaping catch with rookie linebacker Patrick Queen draped all over him. Boyle has become a better receiver over the years and if he can continue that trajectory, he’ll help offset the loss of Hayden Hurst.
Veteran outside linebacker Pernell McPhee looks good coming back from his season-ending triceps injury. He used a nice swim move to get around fullback Patrick Ricard and chase Jackson to the sideline.
