On Wednesday, the Chicago Bears signed quarterback Tim Boyle off the Detroit Lions’ practice squad, they signed defensive lineman Andrew Brown off the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad, and they placed safety Dane Cruikshank on injured reserve with a hamstring issue.
Head coach Matt Eberflus said the addition of Boyle was a precaution due to the “day to day” status of Justin Fields (left shoulder) and Trevor Siemian (oblique). Fileds was limited at today’s practice while Siemian was held out. (Full injury report below)
The Packers originally signed Boyle (6’4”, 233) in 2018 as a UDFA from Eastern Kentucky, and he was in Green Bay through the 2020 season, so he has worked with Chicago offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
