C.J. Beathard: Headed to Miami
The Dolphins signed C.J. Beathard to the practice squad Wednesday.Beathard was released by the Jaguars at the end of training camp with an injury settlement due to a groin injury he picked up in preseason action. He wasn't able to catch on with the Giants following a workout in late September, but the 2017 third-round pick will return to Florida and serve as the Dolphins' practice squad quarterback. Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and Skylar Thompson (ribs) are nursing injuries while Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Tim Boyle is the only healthy quarterback on the Dolphins' active roster, meaning Beathard could be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the backup or emergency quarterback against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Sits out Friday, as expected
C.J. Beathard (groin) didn't play in Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, John Oehser of the Jacksonville 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: Suffers groin injury
C.J. 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: Expected to compete with Jones
C.J. Beathard is expected to compete with Mac Jones -- who is slated to be traded from the Patriots to the Jacksonville 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.

Jaguars' C.J. Beathard: Returning to backup role
C.J. Beathard will serve as the Jacksonville Jaguars' backup quarterback for Sunday's game against the Titans with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder/finger) active for the contest and cleared to start, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.While Lawrence missed the first game of his NFL career in Week 17 due to an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, Beathard stepped in to make the start and managed the game effectively in the Jaguars' 26-0 win over Carolina, completing 17 of 24 pass attempts for 178 yards with no touchdowns or turnovers. Lawrence wasn't involved in practice as anything more than a limited participant this week and still isn't fully healthy, but he'll get the green light to return to the lineup as Jacksonville looks to secure a playoff spot with a win over Tennessee. Beathard will thus move back into the No. 2 role, while Matt Barkley is inactive as Jacksonville's emergency No. 3 quarterback.
