Nathan Peterman has been named the backup quarterback for the Chicago Bears, ahead of rookie Tyson Bagent. Peterman, who was initially cut from the roster but re-signed last week, will serve as the backup to starting quarterback Justin Fields. The Bears are carrying three quarterbacks on the active roster, including Fields, Peterman, and Bagent. Peterman's experience in the Bears' offense and his ability to provide feedback and support to Fields were cited as reasons for his selection as the backup.
