Peterman, who spent 2022–2023 as a Bears backup behind Justin Fields, has experience as a No. 3 and a brief Week 18 start in 2022. In Chicago, he ceded the backup role to Tyson Bagent during 2023 training camp, a move that helped Bagent establish himself as the team’s top backup. Peterman’s prospective addition would officially test him against NFL-caliber competition during the Broncos’ rookie minicamp, potentially shaping their quarterback depth chart for the 2026 season.
Key takeaways:
– Nathan Peterman gets a rookie minicamp tryout with the Denver Broncos amid quarterback depth questions.
– Broncos currently roster Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham, and Sam Ehlinger; Nix’s ankle rehab leaves room for another quarterback through OTAs.
– Peterman’s Bears tenure featured a transition to Tyson Bagent as the team’s No. 2, with Peterman largely serving as a backup and practice-squad option.
