Ranking Chiacgo Bears 2022 Practice Squad

After plenty of sorting and shifting along the Chicago Bears roster it appears as though the team has finally ironed out their practice squad. Now that the team is able to 16 players on the PS, it feels much more like an extended roster. Chicago only brought in one outside name, so they did bring back the top 68 names on their roster, when you include the initial 53.

While these players did not make the initial 53, they have a role and value. Which players are closest to the NFL roster, and which ones are most needed?

Ranking Chicago Bears Practice Squad

16. Nathan Peterman

This one makes a lot of sense for us to kick things off with. Nathan Peterman is going be the third quarterback. While quarterback is the most important position on the field, you get to a point where the drop-off from starter to backup is so valuable that it will kill the team.

The drop-off from Justin Fields to Trevor Siemian and can only be outdone by the drop-off from Siemian to Peterman. If the Chicago Bears end up having to call up Peterman, they are in big trouble.

So, why did he even make the PS? Because he has immense value in the meeting room. He is a player who can act as a coach most days, but then take it to the practice field while also helping as a scout team player. Peterman has his role, but in our ranking of looking at which players can help the roster, he should be last.
