Dolphins sign QB Tim Boyle to active roster

Dolphins sign QB Tim Boyle to active roster

With Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovaila now on the injured list due to his most recent concussion, the Dolphins have added their second new quarterback to the 53-man roster.

Just days after signing Tyler Huntley from Baltimore’s practice squad, the Dolphins have signed Tim Boyle from their own practice squad.

The move gives the Dolphins three quarterbacks on the active roster, and under the rules, one of them can suit up as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday’s game in Seattle.

The only question at this point is whether Huntley or Boyle will be the backup, with the other the third quarterback. Skylar Thompson will be the starter in Tua’s absence.

To create a roster spot for Boyle, the Dolphins placed receiver Grant DuBose on the injured list. They also pulled receivers Dee Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma from the practice squad.
