NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Detroit Lions are re-signing quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad. The Lions waived Boyle as part of their initial cutdowns to get to 53 players. While it appeared that Boyle had lost the backup competition to David Blough—who made the initial roster—the Lions soon opted to sign veteran backup Nate Sudfeld and waived Blough.
The Lions reportedly had an interest in bringing back Blough to their practice squad, but the former Purdue quarterback, instead, chose to sign to the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad.
