Veteran backup Tim Boyle's stay on the Miami Dolphins' active roster ended up being a short one
The Miami Dolphins' release of quarterback Tim Boyle on Friday might seem strange on the surface considering it's two days before the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots and Skylar Thompson is questionable because of his rib injury. But a closer look reveals the apparent logic behind the move.
The move with Boyle also creates an opening on the 53-man roster, and the Dolphins have two players who practiced this week and are eligible to be activated, those two being wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and cornerback Cam Smith. Boyle always was destined to return to the practice squad once Thompson's ribs are healed, so this just accelerates the process.Boyle joined the Dolphins practice squad after the moves to 53 to replace Mike White as the third quarterback on the roster and was signed to the active roster to back up Thompson after Tua Tagovailoa was placed on injured reserve as the result of the concussion he sustained in the loss against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.
