C.J. Beathard Could Start For Jaguars On Thursday

one year ago

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard will get the start against New Orleans if Trevor Lawrence (knee) is unable to go. The former No. 1 overall pick is currently dealing with a knee injury and has an official questionable tag heading into the Thursday night matchup. Beathard has been the Jags' backup for the past two seasons, making a total of eight appearances for the ball club, so he is quite familiar with head coach Doug Pederson's system. While this may be the case, Beathard is a career backup that boasts a completion percentage of 59% to go along with 18 touchdowns and 14 interceptions over five seasons. On a short week against one of the NFL's best defenses on the road, Beathard would only be a streaming option this week for the neediest of superflex teams.
