San Francisco 49ers QB C.J. Beathard will serve as the No. 2 quarterback in the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Aug. 27. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Beathard is still competing with Matt Barkley for the primary backup job.

Footballguys View: Brian Hoyer isn’t the best at staying healthy or holding down a quarterback job. We could see Beathard by the end of the season.
