Tim

Boyle

Siemian spent part of last season with the Titans but never attempted a pass. The veteran quarterback last threw a pass in Week 18 of the 2023 season and will now compete for backup duties with Brandon Allen. Siemian’s signing comes just days after the Titans watched Tim Boyle complete 4-of-13 passes for 24 yards and two interceptions in a preseason game against the Buccaneers. He has since been released. Siemian has a good chance to stick on the Titans’ 53-man roster if the team opts to keep three quarterbacks.

Boyle began the 2024 season on Miami’s practice squad but was quickly called into action after a slew of quarterback injuries hit the team. He didn’t make any starts but did attempt 26 passes, which he turned into 153 yards before being released. The Giants then found themselves in a similar situation and signed Boyle. He completed 12-of-24 passes for 123 yards, one touchdown, and one pick. With five career touchdowns to 13 interceptions, it’s baffling to see teams still giving Boyle chances, even as a deep backup. Needless to say, Boyle’s agent deserves a raise.

The Giants are at “full strength” entering their season-finale against the Eagles and will face a plethora of Philly’s backups. Rookie Malik Nabers is sitting on 104 receptions for the season and is hoping to finish the year with the rookie receptions record that is currently held by Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (108), who will play later in the day. Outside of that, there is little for this team to play for in Week 18.

Does it matter? Tim Boyle came on in relief of Tommy DeVito in Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, throwing for 123 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in relief of DeVito, with Daboll praising him for being “decisive with the football” in his first outing of the season with Big Blue. Boyle starting bears more weight on the Giants offensive playmakers than anything else, as he could severely limit the upside of Malik Nabers, who has struggled to find good quarterback play all season.

Boyle performed admirably in the second half after Tommy DeVito exited the game with a head injury. Boyle targeted Malik Nabers time and time again, connecting with the Giants WR1 for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of the lopsided loss. Boyle could be an upgrade for Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson over DeVito and Drew Lock — who’s dealing with a heel injury — if he gets the starting nod next week against Atlanta.

DeVito was driven head first into the turf just before halftime and will not return for the second half. That leaves journeyman Tim Boyle as New York’s starter for the rest of the ballgame, with Drew Lock (heel) behind him as the emergency No. 3 quarterback. DeVito will likely have to clear the league’s concussion protocol this week if he’s going to play in Week 16.

That’s right, they’re desperate enough to keep Daniel Jones from playing another snap that they needed to make sure to cover the bases and threaten us with Boyle snaps. Boyle threw for 153 scoreless yards in two relief appearances for the Dolphins earlier this year after being with the Texans in training camp. If you were looking for someone to make Malik Nabers interesting, this is not that guy.

Huntley exited the Dolphins’ Week 7 loss to the Cardinals with a shoulder injury. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) slated to return in Week 8, Huntley’s status will determine the backup situation for Miami. If Huntley cannot go, it will likely be Tim Boyle as the backup against the Cardinals.

Tyler Huntley injured his shoulder midway through the third quarter and Boyle came on in relief. There was no real difference between the Dolphins’ backups in a game the Colts won 16-10 with only 10 pass completions. A disaster, in other words. The good news is that the Dolphins have heavily telegraphed Tua Tagovailoa’s (concussion) healthy Week 8 return. If Tua needs another week, neither Boyle nor Huntley will be anywhere close to streamer relevance against the Cardinals.

The Dolphins signed Tyler Huntley off the Ravens’ practice squad to play over Boyle a few weeks ago. He is slated to make his second start of the year this week and Skylar Thompson will back him up. That left Boyle in no man’s land. He will likely land on a practice squad in the coming weeks.
