New York Jets workers out veteran quarterbacks Nathan Peterman and C.J. Beathard on Thursday as Tyrod Taylor continues to recover from knee arthroscopy. Both left the facility without contracts, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, as the team weighs backup options ahead of Week 1 with Taylor’s status uncertain.

Beathard, a 2017 third-round pick who has 32 NFL appearances and 13 starts with the 49ers and Jaguars, brings pro experience and a steadier track record than Peterman, who is remembered for a 2017 five-interception game and a career 53.1% completion rate. The Jets are evaluating whether one of them could stabilize the position without forcing a hurry-sign move. Fantasy managers should monitor any signings or depth-chart shifts that could affect Week 1 game plans and streaming options for Jets pass-catchers if Taylor remains sidelined early in the season.
