The New York Jets announced that Tim Boyle will start against the Miami Dolphins on Friday.
The Jets have finally seen enough of Zach Wilson as the starter, and have decided to start Tim Boyle against Miami on Black Friday Football. With Wilson under center, the Jets offense has been spinning their wheels in mud and just not going anywhere. Wilson was even demoted to third-stringer as the Jets signed Trevor Siemian to the active roster from their practice squad.
The last time Boyle was a starter in the NFL he was with Lions two years ago. In 2021 with the Lions, Boyle accumulated 526 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. Boyle’s main objective will be to get the ball to Garrett Wilson, hand the to Breece Hall, don’t turn the ball over, and get out of the way. Boyle is not guaranteed any other starts after Friday.
With Siemian being signed to the main roster, Boyle will be on a short leash. Siemian has more experience as a starter and should be starting soon enough for the Jets if Boyle struggles under center. Either way, both quarterbacks are a bridge gap until Aaron Rodgers tries to return to the team by season’s end. One thing is for sure Wilson may have seen his last days as a starter for the Jets.

The New York Jets will start Zach Wilson at quarterback in the Hall of Fame game vs the Cleveland Browns.
The New York Jets plan to sit all of their starters, including Aaron Rodgers, in the Hall of Fame Game. Zach Wilson has the inside track to the backup job and will look to shine after a brutal year in 2022.
Former Green Bay Packer Tim Boyle is technically competing with Wilson, though he hasn’t looked the part in camp so far. Boyle and Chris Streveler, who Wilson was benched for in a loss to the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football, will also see action.
