The Chicago Bears re-signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to their practice squad on Monday and designated defensive back Kyler Gordon (hand) to return from Injured Reserve. It's the third time already this year that Chicago has re-signed the 29-year-old veteran to their practice squad. For now, he'll continue to provide depth at the position behind starter Justin Field and rookie backup Tyson Bagent. Peterman, a former fifth-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2017, has played in 13 games (five starts) in his NFL career with the Bills, Las Vegas Raiders and Bears and has thrown for 712 yards, four touchdowns and 13 interceptions over five seasons. He played in three games (one start) for the Bears in 2022.
Less than 24 hours after releasing Nathan Peterman, the Chicago Bears have re-signed the veteran quarterback to the active roster. Peterman will presumably be the Bears' backup to Justin Fields in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent will serve as the emergency quarterback. The 29-year-old Peterman has played in 13 games in his five-year NFL career.
The Chicago Bears released veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman on Wednesday. With Peterman now gone, the Bears have just two signal-callers on their roster, starter Justin Fields and undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent. If something were to happen to Fields, the Bears, already 0-2 on the season, would be in some serious trouble at the position. They'll most likely bring in another veteran option at some point or sign another QB to their practice sooner than later. The 29-year-old Peterman will now look for work elsewhere. He has played in 13 games (five starts) in his five-year NFL career with three different teams.
Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Peterman, not rookie Tyson Bagent, will serve as the backup signal-caller to open the 2023 regular season behind starter Justin Fields, according to the team's official depth chart released in advance of Week 1 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers this Sunday. The 29-year-old Peterman was initially cut when the Bears cut down to 53 players last Tuesday, but he was later re-signed to the active roster. The Bears are carrying Fields, Peterman and Bagent on the active roster. Bagent is the only Division II QB to make a 53-man roster in the NFL. Peterman has two years worth of knowledge of Chicago's offense and earned his way into the role behind Fields this year.
The Chicago Bears have released veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman ahead of Tuesday's deadline for teams to cut down to 53 active players. Peterman could sign back with the practice squad, but it looks like rookie Tyson Bagent will serve as Justin Fields' direct backup in 2023. Peterman has thrown four touchdowns to 13 interceptions since entering the NFL in 2017 and has spent time with the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders before joining Chicago last offseason. Needless to say, he's not on the fantasy radar in any format.
Veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman re-signed an undisclosed deal with the Chicago Bears on Thursday, according to a source. Peterman is a valued piece of Chicago's quarterback room and is now entering his seventh NFL season and second with the Bears. Justin Fields is the team's franchise signal-caller, but Peterman will head into this summer competing for the backup job with P.J. Walker. The 28-year-old played in three games (one start) for the Bears in 2022 and went 14-for-25 for 139 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He's played in just 13 games (five starts) over his five NFL seasons with the Bears, Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders.
Nathan Peterman Throws One Touchdown In Season Finale
Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Peterman completed 11 of his 19 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown in his team's 29-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. With Justin Fields ruled out before the game started, Chicago turned to Peterman as their starter in the season finale. Peterman played mistake-free football and found Cole Kmet for an 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The veteran backup quarterback wound up appearing in three games for the Bears in 2022, throwing for 139 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Peterman is now an unrestricted free-agent.
Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Peterman has returned to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, sending Tim Boyle back to the bench. The Bears' plan was to rotate their quarterbacks in and out of the game, which explains why Peterman exited and re-entered. It remains to be seen if Boyle will take another snap in this contest. If he doesn't, his final Week 18 stat line includes two completions, 33 yards, and one interception.
Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Peterman was pulled from Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He went 4-for-7 with 50 passing yards, six rushing yards, and one sack before exiting. Tim Boyle took over in his place, becoming the fourth different quarterback for Chicago this season. David Montgomery and Cole Kmet are the only Bears players on the fantasy radar for the remainder of Week 18.
Cole Kmet Hopes To Be Safety Valve For Nathan Peterman
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will look to end his season on a high note against the Vikings in Week 18. It has been an up-and-down season for Kmet but he is looking to add to his career-high six touchdowns in the final game of the season. He will be catching passes from backup Nathan Peterman, so every Bears offensive player will carry a certain volatility into this game. For the season, Kmet currently has 44 receptions for 487 yards this season and is averaging 5.5 targets a game over his last eight games. Kmet will be a fringe top-12 option at the tight end position for Week 18.
