Quarterback Nathan Peterman (14) started one game for the Bears last season — posting a 92.9 passer rating in a loss to the Vikings in the season finale.

The Bears signed quarterback Nathan Peterman and wide receiver/kick returner Trent Taylor to their 53-man roster Thursday. They put offensive linemen Teven Jenkins and Doug Kramer on injured reserve to make room for Peterman and Taylor.

Peterman gives the Bears a veteran option at quarterback behind Justin Fields, with undrafted free agent rookie Tyson Bagent the only other quarterback on the roster.
