Nathan Peterman Joins Falcons

Tuesday, September 3, 9:09 PM

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.

Jalen Hurts News

Jalen Hurts Looks Ready to Run More in 2026

Saturday, August 22, 10:56 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't suddenly become a bad fantasy option last year, but one of the biggest parts of his game disappeared. Hurts still threw a career-high 25 touchdowns against six interceptions in 16 games, while his rushing line slipped to 421 yards and eight scores. Both were five-year lows. That's why the camp reports matter. Vic Fangio said Hurts "looks faster," and the tush push is staying in Sean Mannion's new offense. Those goal-line chances aren't going anywhere. There is some risk around the passing game after A.J. Brown was traded to New England, and the Eagles are breaking in several new receivers behind DeVonta Smith. Still, Hurts has looked comfortable enough in the new scheme and hit several deep balls during joint practices with the Patriots. RotoBaller has him at QB6. If even part of last year's lost rushing production comes back, there is room for Hurts to beat that ranking.
