Lions Expected to Sign C.J. Beathard to Practice Squad After Tryout

Detroit seeks immediate-ready depth at QB3 after moving on from Hendon Hooker.

Overview

  • NFL Network reports Detroit is expected to add veteran quarterback C.J. Beathard to its practice squad following Wednesday's workout.
  • Beathard, 31, has 13 career starts and last appeared in a game in 2023 after recent stints with the Jaguars and Dolphins.
  • The Lions hosted Beathard and Nathan Peterman for quarterback tryouts as they rebuild depth behind Jared Goff and Kyle Allen.
  • Dan Campbell said the third quarterback must be able to run the offense and process information rather than serve as a long-term project.
  • Detroit also evaluated wide receivers Malik Cunningham, Jerjuan Newtown and Kendric Pryor, according to the NFL transaction wire.
