JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An injury to Trevor Lawrence's non-throwing shoulder has prompted the Jacksonville Jaguars to bring back veteran backup C.J. Beathard. Coach Doug Pederson says the team signed Beathard off Miami's practice squad to "give us assurance" in case Lawrence can't play against Minnesota. Pederson says Lawrence will be limited in practice this week. Mac Jones remains the backup, and Beathard is the third option. The trio spent the offseason together before Beathard injured his groin in the preseason and was released.
