Detroit — Detroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle suffered a thumb injury in the opening quarter of the team's preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts Friday night and the team is bracing from him to miss extended time, according to coach Dan Campbell.
"We'll know a lot more tomorrow, but we may have to prepare for him to be out for a little bit," Campbell said after the game.
Boyle was injured on the opening possession, when he was hit by Colts defensive end Kwity Paye and fumbled the ball. The quarterback's hand violently whiplashed forward, hitting off the helmet of Kemoko Turay.
