49ers QB Beathard endures painful preseason
Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard, who is one snap away from becoming the most important player on the 2018 49ers, had a very painful summer.
In the second preseason game, Beathard suffered a foot sprain.
In their third preseason game, on his first play, center Coleman Shelton stepped on his injured foot when he was making a handoff and Beathard hopped around in pain.
“What are the chances of that happening?” Beathard said, smiling. “And on a run play, too.”
And, finally, on his third and final play in the preseason finale Thursday against the Chargers, Beathard was driven forcefully to the ground on a sack.
