Lions QB Tim Boyle is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. QB Jared Goff didn't practice all week with his oblique injury. Boyle has 4 regular-season pass attempts to his name. He went undrafted back in 2018 after completing 55.5% of his passes, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt and tossing 12 TDs vs. 26 INTs across 4 college seasons (3 at UConn, 1 at Eastern Kentucky). There's a good chance this is a total disaster for the Lions offense. Downgrade RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson.
Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) did not practice again on Thursday. His injury reportedly isn't serious, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Goff is in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns. QB Tim Boyle has been taking 1st-team reps in practice this week and would likely start over QB David Blough if Goff is out.
Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this injury in last week's tie vs. the Steelers but shouldn't be considered a lock for Sunday's game against the Browns. If Goff can't go, Detroit would start QB Tim Boyle.
Lions QB Jared Goff played through a 1st-quarter oblique injury in the Week 10 tie vs. the Steelers. "Just kind of nagged me a little bit throughout the game," Goff said afterward. "I felt like I was fine to stay in there and felt like it didn’t affect me throughout the game. But it’ll be a little sore tomorrow but I’ll be fine." It sounds like Goff will be available for this weekend's game vs. the Browns, but he'll again be a bottom-barrel QB2.
Lions QB Jared Goff and TE T.J. Hockenson have been "dialed in" throughout training camp, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site writes. "Hockenson made plays all over the field Saturday, and that could be an indication of what's to come for the third-year tight end out of Iowa in 2021," Twentyman added. An ascending player on a team with 1 of the weakest WR groups in the NFL, Hockenson is in for big volume this season.
