Jaguars Sign Quarterback C.J. Beathard

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed quarterback C.J. Beathard to their 53-man roster from the Miami Dolphins' practice squad. Beathard, who previously played for the Jaguars from 2021 to 2023, will provide depth behind Trevor Lawrence, who is nursing a shoulder injury sustained during a recent game. Lawrence described his condition as sore but manageable, and the team is assessing his status ahead of their upcoming matchup against the Vikings. Beathard's experience with Jacksonville's offense makes him a sensible addition, especially considering the team’s struggles after their recent loss to the Eagles. Meanwhile, the Dolphins continue to face quarterback challenges, with Tua Tagovailoa as the only active starter following injuries to Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley. The Jaguars also designated receiver Devin Duvernay for return from injured reserve, further bolstering their roster options.
