Nathan Peterman Joins Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to their practice squad on Tuesday. The veteran signal-caller was recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders. Peterman played in the preseason with Las Vegas, but failed to snag a backup spot on the roster. The 30-year-old played two games with the Chicago Bears in 2023. He has mainly been a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll do in Atlanta. Peterman will remain on the practice squad and serve as emergency depth for the organization.

Raiders Release Nathan Peterman

The Las Vegas Raiders released veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman on Tuesday, according to a source. Peterman only lasted two weeks on the Raiders roster while Gardner Minshew II and Aidan O'Connell were still competing for the starting role under center. With Peterman now out of the picture, Vegas will roll with Minshew as the starter, O'Connell as the backup and rookie Carter Bradley as the QB3 for the Week 1 regular-season opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. In the preseason finale, the 30-year-old veteran went 12-for-19 for 108 yards and a touchdown. The journeyman backup QB started his career with the Buffalo Bills after they took him in the fifth round in 2017 out of Pittsburgh. Peterman has played in only 15 games (five starts) in his six years in the NFL and has 712 yards passing, four touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

Nathan Peterman's Fantasy Impact Remains Limited Amidst Raiders' QB Battle

Las Vegas Quarterback Nathan Peterman's commendable effort in the Raiders' final preseason game, where he completed 12-of-19 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown, showcased his poise and experience. Despite this, his path to fantasy relevance remains obstructed by Aidan O'Connell, who seems to have the inside track for the backup quarterback position behind Gardner Minshew II. Peterman's familiarity with the Raiders could aid his case for a roster spot, but from a fantasy perspective, this performance doesn't elevate him beyond a deep-league watchlist candidate. Even if secured, his role projects to be behind O'Connell, rendering Peterman largely irrelevant for fantasy rosters unless significant changes or injuries alter the depth chart. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation, but Peterman's fantasy impact looks minimal for the upcoming season.

Raiders Sign Nathan Peterman

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent quarterback Nathan Peterman to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Peterman rejoins the Raiders after recently being cut in training camp by the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old former fifth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2017 spent two years with the Raiders from 2020-21 and went 3-for-5 for 25 yards in just two games played in that span. He has gone 85-for-160 for 712 yards, four touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 15 games (five starts) in his six seasons in the NFL. In Vegas, he'll be competing for the No. 3 role with Anthony Brown Jr. as Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell battle for the starting gig under center to kick off the 2024 regular season in early September.

Nathan Peterman Returns To Bears Practice Squad

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.

Nathan Peterman Brought Back To Chicago

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.

Bears Release Nathan Peterman Wednesday

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.

Nathan Peterman Listed As Backup QB In Chicago

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.

Nathan Peterman Released By Bears

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.
