C.J. Beathard

The Lions signed QB C.J. Beathard to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Beathard will enter the season as the No. 3 quarterback for Detroit behind Jared Goff and Kyle Allen.

The Jaguars have signed QB C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Beathard will provide insurance for the Jaguars after it was announced that Trevor Lawrence is dealing with an upper body injury. He would serve as the backup QB to Mac Jones if Lawrence cannot start Sunday against the Vikings.

C.J. Beathard has been released by the Jaguars on an injury settlement.

Fantasy Impact

Beathard suffered a groin injury in the preseason this year, and Jacksonville is now releasing him with an injury settlement ahead of the roster-cut deadline. The severity of his injury is unclear right now, but he could find himself on another roster this season if he is well enough to play.

C.J. Beathard is expected to play in one half in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Beathard and Mac Jones are expected to both play one half with Trevor Lawrence not playing. They are competing for the backup role behind Lawrence.

C.J. Beathard completed 7-of-14 passes for 125 yards and one touchdown in a win over the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

Beathard entered the game ahead of Mac Jones, which could show that he is currently the QB2 on the roster. Neither Jones or Beathard played particularly well, so the backup QB competition is likely still open heading into Week 2 of the preseason.
