According to Tom Pelissero with the NFL Network, the Jets will have Tim Boyle stay with the Jets this season on the practice squad after re-signing him Wednesday.

Boyle was brought into the Jets this spring as the Jets traded for Rodgers. Boyle has familiarity with Rodgers and Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett from their time together in Green Bay. He wasn’t expected to compete for the QB1 or QB2 job, as Rodgers is the Jets’ obvious starter, and Zach Wilson is a capable backup.
Boyle can help Rodgers and Wilson in the film room and, if active for the gameday roster, could be a good pair of eyes on the sideline.
