Rejoins Arizona's practice squad The Cardinals signed Driskel to their practice squad Tuesday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Driskel was originally let go from the team's practice squad on Oct. 20, but he'll rejoin the organization with Arizona in need of additional depth at quarterback after trading Joshua Dobbs to the Vikings on Tuesday. With Kyler Murray (knee) could be activated from the PUP list in Week 9, but if the Cardinals determine that Murray needs more practice time before making his season debut, Driskel could be elevated from the practice squad to back up Clayton Tune this Sunday against the Browns.

Parts ways with Arizona Driskel was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The veteran quarterback missed Arizona's 53-man roster and was released in late August, but he ended up signing with the team's practice squad just one day later. Driskel has thrown for 2,228 yards, 14 touchdowns and eight interceptions throughout his four-year career. The 30-year-old was cut in order to make room for running back Tony Jones.

Decreased usage in finale Driskel completed two of two passes for 13 yards and had three carries for seven yards in a 32-31 win over the Colts in Week 18.

Impact Driskel, who was part of a quarterback share with Davis Mills over the final five games, had his fewest amount of snaps (six) in the season finale. The gimmick worked as a surprise factor the first week but was less effective in the following weeks. He heads to free agency after completing 14 of 20 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown. Driskel also ran the ball 20 times for 75 yards. The Texans used him in the backfield and at tight end during his two seasons in Houston, and that position versatility could be attractive.

Still part of gameplan Driskel completed three of four passes for nine yards and ran twice for seven yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Jaguars in Week 17.

Impact Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton continued to work the two-quarterback system with Driskel and Davis Mills, which yielded good results Week 14 when the Texans nearly upset the Cowboys, but the surprise factor waned in successive weeks. As Jacksonville built a 28-0 lead, Houston averaged 2.1 yards per play with Driskel under center compared to 4.9 yards with Mills, per Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle. Neither Driskel nor Mills were effective, and it appears the organization will be looking for a quarterback in the draft.

Still in mix at QB Driskel completed three of four passes for 40 yards, gained two yards on two carries and caught his lone target for four yards in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans.

Impact Driskel was once again in the mix at quarterback and sometimes in a two-quarterback system along with Davis Mills. Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton ditched the even split between the two that was deployed two weeks ago against Dallas, but Driskel continues to spot in at times to keep defenses guessing.

Cedes most work to Mills Driskel completed two of four passes for eight yards and rushed four times for eight yards in the Texans' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact Driskel once again worked in conjunction with Davis Mills at quarterback, but the latter put up 24 pass attempts to Driskel's four. The versatile signal-caller appears likely to continue to cede the majority of passing work to Mills in a Week 16 road battle versus the Titans on Saturday afternoon.

Signed to active roster The Texans signed Driskel to their 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Houston had already exhausted its three elevations for Driskel from the practice squad, so the team needed to give him a permanent roster spot in order for him to be eligible to play again this season. Though he served as the backup to Davis Mills in the team Week 14 loss to the Cowboys, Driskel ended up splitting work with the starter. Driskel was on the field for 33 snaps and was primarily used as a rushing threat, recording seven carries for 36 yards while completing four of six pass attempts for 48 yards and a touchdown. According to Wilson, the Texans are expected to maintain a two-quarterback system Week 15 against the Chiefs, so Driskel may have some value in deeper leagues that start two signal-callers or have a superflex spot.

Shifts back to practice squad Driskel reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Driskel was activated from the practice squad for the third time this season Week 14. After being used sparingly as a third-down rusher in the first two games of the season, the 29-year-old played the exact same number of snaps (33) as quarterback Davis Mills, as Kyle Allen was ruled a healthy scratch. Driskel continued to play a role as a rushing threat with seven carries for 36 yards while also going 4-for-6 passing for 38 yards. This included a 28-yard touchdown connection to wide receiver Amari Rodgers. With Driskel no longer eligible to be activated from the practice squad this season, he'll now require a permanent spot on the active roster to continue suiting up for Houston. According to Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle, coach Lovie Smith indicated that he's currently unsure if the team will carry three quarterbacks or not moving forward, though he did say the team can't let its roster restrictions "stop us from fielding our best 48 players this week." Therefore, it's possible Driskel could play a similar role if Allen or Mills are ruled a healthy scratch versus Kansas City on Sunday, Dec. 18.
