Quarterback Nathan Peterman barely made it out of Lake Forest before the Chicago Bears brought him back. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Peterman was re-signed to the roster on Thursday morning. This comes less than 24 hours after he was released on one of the wildest days at Halas Hall in recent memory.

It’s unclear as of now if Peterman will continue to serve as the primary backup behind Justin Fields. For a brief moment, it appeared undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent would be elevated to the position, but now that’s up in the air.
The Bears are preparing to take on the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT.
