Top C.J. Beathard News

  • C.J. Beathard: Healthy again

    Beathard (groin) tried out for the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The quarterback was released with an injury settlement by the Jaguars in late August after injuring his groin during the second preseason game, missing the last preseason contest and losing the backup quarterback battle to Mac Jones. The Giants have three healthy signal-callers at the moment in Daniel Jones, Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito. Beathard played in seven regular-season games (107 offensive snaps) for the Jaguars in 2023.

  • C.J. Beathard: Released with injury settlement

    Beathard (groin) was released with an injury settlement Tuesday.

    Beathard is now free to sign with another team after losing a preseason competition with Mac Jones for the No. 2 QB job in Jacksonville. Beathard suffered a groin injury during the Jaguars' second preseason game and didn't play in the final exhibition.

  • Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Sits out Friday, as expected

    Beathard (groin) didn't play in Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports..

    Beathard's absence from the contest was expected, as he suffered a groin injury during Jacksonville's second exhibition game last Saturday versus Tampa Bay and didn't practice all week. Trevor Lawrence started for the Jaguars on Friday and produced 92 yards through the air along with two touchdowns while completing eight of 10 pass attempts, and Mac Jones played the bulk of the game and looked good in completing 13 of 18 pass attempts for 113 yards and a touchdown. The performance may have given Jones a leg up in the battle with Beathard for the backup quarterback role behind Lawrence, though Jones and Beathard were said to be in a close competition for most of training camp.

  • Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Unlikely to suit up this week

    Beathard (groin) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons according to head coach Doug Pederson, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Beathard suffered the injury during Saturday's exhibition game against the Buccaneers and was unable to play in the fourth quarter. The Iowa product is currently battling former Patriots quarterback Mac Jones for the backup role behind Trevor Lawrence, and it's unclear how much his unavailability for the team's final preseason contest may impact his chances of sticking on the roster.

  • Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Suffers groin injury

    Beathard injured his groin during Saturday's exhibition game against Tampa Bay and has been ruled out from returning, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Trevor Lawrence didn't suit up Saturday, and Beathard entered as the second quarterback following Mac Jones. Beathard played the entire third quarter but was sacked on the final play of the period, and Jones reentered on Jacksonville's first series of the fourth. Jones and Beathard are battling for the backup QB role behind Trevor Lawrence, and Beathard could have his opportunity for that role diminish greatly if he's unable to take the field for the team's final preseason game Friday versus Atlanta. Beathard finished Saturday's contest having gone 5-for-7 for 40 passing yards while rushing twice for 10 yards. Meanwhile, Jones completed 16 of 23 pass attempts for 210 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 14 yards. Neither quarterback threw an interception.

  • Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Entering lineup second Saturday

    Coach Doug Pederson said Thursday that Beathard will be the second quarterback to enter Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Beathard will get a chance to handle preseason reps Saturday after Trevor Lawrence has finished with his allotment of plays. That could be read as an indication that Beathard is currently ahead of Mac Jones in Jacksonville's backup quarterback competition, but real clarity on that front may not arrive until closer to the end of the preseason.

  • Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Expected to compete with Jones

    Beathard is expected to compete with Mac Jones -- who is slated to be traded from the Patriots to the Jaguars -- to be Trevor Lawrence's top backup in 2024, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    The report notes that Beathard is in the final year of a two-year, $4.5 million contract that he signed prior to last season. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, part of the Jaguars' motivation for the deal is that Beathard has been banged up at times during his stint with the team, with Jones -- a 2021 first-rounder -- giving the team a healthy backup option with plenty of starting experience ahead of the coming season.
