Detroit backup QB Boyle out indefinitely

The Detroit Lions quarterback room took a hit with backup quarterback TIM BOYLE set to miss an indefinite period of time after breaking his right throwing thumb in the team’s preseason finale last week against the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell said Boyle was scheduled to undergo surgery Monday and the team would have a better idea on a timetable for his return post-operation. The Lions signed Boyle to a one-year contract this offseason to be the backup to starting quarterback JARED GOFF. The backup role now looks to belong to third-year quarterback DAVID BLOUGH.
