Tim Boyle Out Six-To-Eight Weeks
3 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle (thumb) will miss the next six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a damaged thumb. Boyle apparently broke his thumb on the first drive of the Lions final preseason game but stayed in the game for one more series to complete 6-of-7 passes during a 14-play touchdown drive. This development opens the door for David Blough to begin the season as the team's backup behind starter Jared Goff.
