LB Beason makes brief appearance on field

In the final stages of his Achilles rehabilitation, LB Jon Beason briefly appeared on the OTA practice field Thursday and lined up as first-team “Mike.” Mostly, Beason kneeled on the sideline and watched reserve LB Jason Phillips take a majority of his reps. “It’s all precaution,” Beason told The Charlotte Observer. “They have a point. It is May.”
