Report: Jaguars' Beachum expected to be cleared for training camp

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Kelvin Beachum is expected to receive full medical clearance prior to the first day of training camp next month, reports Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union.

Beachum, who joined the Jaguars this offseason after four years in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform, has missed all spring practices as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered last year.

Entering camp healthy will make Beachum the favorite to win a competition for the starting job at left tackle.

Presumably planning for such a scenario, the Jaguars have been giving Luke Joeckel snaps at guard during offseason workouts. Joeckel, a first-round pick in 2013, has been unable to establish himself as a top-tier player on the blindside through three seasons.
