Nathan Peterman is back in Silver & Black. The journeyman has been signed by the Raiders as they enter game week for their second preseason game.
A former round five pick by the Buffalo Bills, Peterman has started just five career games in six NFL seasons. He spent parts of four seasons with the Raiders from 2018-21.
He gets the call up today because he spent the past two seasons in Chicago with Raiders OC Luke Getsy, so he has familiarity with his system. Peterman started one game for the Bears in 2022, going 14 of 25 for 139 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a season-ending loss to the Vikings.
He was most recently with the Saints, once again behind former Raiders QB Derek Carr. He signed on in New Orleans last May and was released on August 2. Opening the door for a return to the Raiders and a reunion with Getsy.
In a corresponding move, the raiders waived/injured WR Keelan Doss.
