The Bears re-signed third-string quarterback Nathan Peterman to a one-year deal Friday.
Peterman started the season finale in his only season with the Bears and appeared in two more games, completing 14-of-25 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown.
He’ll backup starter Justin Fields and second-string quarterback P.J. Walker, whom the Bears signed away from the Panthers earlier this month.
“He’s an outstanding young man,” head coach Matt Eberflus said this week about Walker, with whom he worked in Indianapolis. “Really good support for Justin, and we’re excited about that relationship being able to build.
