Jon Gruden: Hope Raiders can 'restart' Nathan Peterman, 'get him going'

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- While Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden obviously sees something in quarterback Nathan Peterman, he also thinks he can do something for Peterman after signing him to the team's practice squad.

"Hopefully, we can take him into the offseason program," Gruden said of Peterman. "See if we can restart him and get him going."

Gruden, however, was quick to point out that Oakland signed Peterman merely as insurance with Raiders backup AJ McCarron back home in Alabama after the birth of his son, Cash, and the Raiders unsure when he would return.
