The Jaguars extended Beathard on Friday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
What it means:
Beathard is now in line to remain Jacksonville's primary backup quarterback to starter Trevor Lawrence throughout the 2023 campaign following Friday's transaction. The 29-year-old appeared in four games last season as a reliever and went 7-for-11 with 35 yards and an interception in that span.
Beathard (groin) was cleared to practice Sunday according to head coach Doug Pederson, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
What it means:
Beathard was carted off the field during an early June minicamp practice, and has been out or limited since. The 28-year-old was considered the favorite to back up Trevor Lawrence, and he'll now work to regain any lost ground to Jake Luton and Kyle Sloter on those expectations, if any.
Beathard (groin) will not play in the Hall of Fame game against the Raiders on Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Beathard is still recovering from a groin injury suffered in minicamp. The 28-year-old has been limited in practice and isn't quite ready to take the field yet. With Trevor Lawrence also getting the night off , Jake Luton will get the starting nod.
Beathard (groin) was working on the side during training camp Sunday, John Oehser and J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.
What it means:
Beathard suffered the injury during practice in early June. The injury was severe enough for him to be carted off the field, but he was expected to be available for training camp. Although he is participating, it appears that he is still currently limited by the injury. Beathard is supposed to serve as Trevor Lawrence's backup, although the extra snaps with the offense for Jake Luton and Kyle Sloter could be a detriment to those expectations.
Beathard (groin) is expected to be fine for training camp, Eugene Frenette of the Florida Times-Union reports.
What it means:
Beathard was carted off the practice field with a groin injury Monday, but the issue isn't expected to be serious. Assuming he's ready to play by training camp, the 28-year-old is the frontrunner to serve as Trevor Lawrence's primary backup this year.
Beathard's recent groin injury isn't expected to require surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
What it means:
Beathard was carted off the practice field Monday after initially suffering the injury, but the backup quarterback appears to have avoided a significant issue. The 2017 third-round pick is the favorite to be Trevor Lawrence's primary backup in 2022, but his recent injury may give Jake Luton and EJ Perry an opportunity to compete for a larger role.
