Nathan Peterman Returns To Bears Practice Squad

Monday, October 9, 1:20 PM

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.

Lamar Jackson Won't Practice On Friday

Friday, July 26, 1:52 PM

The Baltimore Ravens announced that quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) will remain sidelined due to his illness and will not take part in Friday's training camp practice. Jackson will continue to undergo further evaluation and receive care from the medical staff. The 27-year-old two-time MVP returned to the practice field on Wednesday but apparently is still under the weather from an illness that he first came down with last weekend. He should be fully recovered well before the start of the 2024 regular season, so fantasy managers should have nothing to worry about. When healthy, Jackson is one of the most dangerous dual-threat signal-callers in the league and is a top-five fantasy QB. What he lacks with his arm, he more than makes up for with his rushing ability. Jackson had a career-high 3,678 passing yards with 24 touchdown passes and seven picks in 16 regular-season starts in 2023.
