Driskel is facing competition from rookie Ryan Finley for the backup quarterback job, Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Driskel served as a third-string option in 2016 and 2017 before moving up a spot on the depth chart in 2018. While the Bengals' decision to draft Finley in the fourth round threatens Driskel's status, the possibility exists that Cincinnati carries all three signal-callers on the 53-man roster when the regular season arrives. In any case, Finley would likely need to submit a strong preseason for the organization to feel comfortable with him as the top backup to Andy Dalton, who's coming off thumb surgery.
