The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Tuesday that they have released quarterback
C.J. Beathard (groin) with an injury settlement. Beathard was injured in the team's second preseason game and was released after losing the backup competition to former New England Patriots QB
Mac Jones. Jones will now begin the 2024 regular season as the primary backup to starter
Trevor Lawrence. The 30-year-old Beathard will now look for work as a veteran backup somewhere else, as long as he's healthy. Originally a third-round selection of the San Francisco 49ers in 2017 out of Iowa, Beathard is in his sixth NFL season. He spent the last three seasons in Jacksonville, going 49-for-66 (74.2 completion percentage) with 417 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception in only 13 games played (one start).

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
C.J. Beathard (groin) suffered a groin injury in Saturday's preseason contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Beathard played the entire third quarter after following
Mac Jones in the exhibition contest and finished 5-for-7 for 40 yards with 10 rushing yards on two carries. The 30-year-old veteran could lose out on the competition for the backup job behind
Trevor Lawrence if his groin injury is serious enough to sideline him for the preseason finale next week against the Atlanta Falcons. In Saturday's game, Jones, the former New England Patriots signal-caller, went 16-for-23 for 210 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 14 yards on six carries. Given Beathard's injury, Jones appears to be in a good spot to win the backup job in his first year in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
C.J. Beathard threw for 178 yards off 17-for-24 passing in Sunday's shutout win over the Carolina Panthers. He added three carries for 24 yards. The signal-caller didn't throw a touchdown pass. However, Beathard at least did enough to help the Jags snap a four-game losing streak. Jacksonville needs a win over the Titans in Week 18 to lock up a postseason berth. There's a chance
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) could be back, meaning Beathard will head back to the bench. Still, fantasy managers can't trust either quarterback, so Lawrence's availability versus the Titans won't mean a thing either way.

C.J. Beathard faces the Carolina Panthers in a Week 17 matchup. QB1
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been dealing with a new injury every week it seems, and was ruled out on Friday giving Beathard the start. While the career backup has filled in admirably thus far when Lawrence was forced out of games, the matchup this week is one of the least favorable for opposing quarterbacks. Carolina ranks 3rd against the position in fantasy points and passing yards allowed, and tied for fourth in touchdowns conceded. The Panthers have one of the weakest run defenses in the game which likely means a heavy dose of
Travis Etienne, putting Beathard squarely off the fantasy radar this Sunday.
