For all but one snap this preseason, Nathan Peterman has been under center for the Las Vegas Raiders. Peterman is listed as the third quarterback on the depth chart, but head coach Jon Gruden decided to sit starter Derek Carr in the games that don’t count and an injury has kept second-stringer Marcus Mariota on the sidelines.
It doesn’t sound like that will change this Sunday as Gruden had this to say about his quarterback rotation this month:
“I don’t want to play [Mariota] in the preseason until we get the [go ahead]. There’s a conversation I have with the trainer before every game and I don’t want to play him if he isn’t 100%.
