Allen Park — While nothing will be official until the weekend, odds are good Tim Boyle will be making his second start at quarterback for the Detroit Lions when the team travels to Atlanta to play the Falcons on Sunday.
Starter Jared Goff landed on the COVID/reserve list on Monday, one of 13 Lions players to test positive the past two weeks. And while he's undergoing medical treatment the team hopes will accelerate his ability to test negative, every teammate who has tested positive before him has missed at least one game.
The circumstances of Boyle's last go-around were far from ideal.
