According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Detroit Lions are waiving backup quarterback Tim Boyle.
Boyle entered the final preseason neck-and-neck with David Blough to win the backup job behind starting quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions opted to give Boyle the first opportunity to impress in the finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but even with the first-team offense around him, Boyle could not move the offense efficiently all night. He would finish the day just 5-of-15 for 64 yards, four pass batted down, and a bad interception.
It’s unclear if this means Blough has won the backup job behind Goff.
