C.J. Beathard is now one of four quarterbacks on the Jaguars' roster, joining Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones, and newly signed John Wolford. His presence adds depth to the team as they navigate potential challenges with Lawrence's injuries.

C.J. Beathard was re-signed by the Jaguars to provide additional quarterback depth after Trevor Lawrence's shoulder injury. He served as the backup to Mac Jones during Lawrence's absence and was eligible to play against the Texans if necessary. Beathard had previously been Lawrence's backup from 2021 to 2023. His presence on the roster is crucial given the struggles of Jones, who had a difficult time in his starts, throwing for a combined 249 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in losses to Minnesota and Detroit. Beathard's experience could be vital if Lawrence is sidelined for an extended period.

C.J. Beathard was released by the Jaguars with an injury designation, likely paving the way for Mac Jones to back up Trevor Lawrence. Beathard, an eight-year veteran, had limited opportunities due to injuries, impacting his ability to secure a more prominent role in the team.

C.J. Beathard has been released by the Jaguars following an injury settlement. His position became precarious with the trade acquisition of Mac Jones, which solidified Trevor Lawrence's backup situation. Previously a third-round pick by the 49ers, Beathard made only one start in three years with Jacksonville, but he demonstrated his capability by throwing six touchdowns without a single interception while filling in during an injury crisis with San Francisco in 2022.

C.J. Beathard has been released with an injury settlement after struggling with a groin injury during the summer, ending his competition for the backup quarterback position against Mac Jones.
