The New York Jets are officially going from an Aaron Rodgers-Zach Wilson quarterbacks room to Zach Wilson-Tim Boyle.
Boyle from its practice squad to its active roster on Saturday, making him the backup quarterback behind Wilson against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Boyle signed with the Jets in April after five seasons of working as a backup in the NFC North, starting his career as an undrafted rookie with the Green Bay Packers before spending time with the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. The Jets released him before the season and signed him to the practice squad, and are now dressing him earlier than anyone could have expected.
Boyle saw his only non-garbage time work in 2021 with the Lions when Jared Goff missed three games due to an oblique injury and COVID-19. In three starts, Boyle posted 526 passing yards, a 64.9% completion rate, three touchdowns and six interceptions.
