Driskel was active for Week 1 against Indianapolis, getting on the field for two plays and carrying the ball once for five yards in a 20-20 tie.
In a slightly surprising move, Driskel was the backup to Davis Mills instead of Kyle Allen. As a quarterback capable of being used in a variety of situations by the Texans, Driskel presents a dual threat to a defense and was on the field for a couple of third-and-short situations, and his lone carry produced a first down. It's unclear if his activation was a stratagem specifically designed for the Colts or a permanent shift on the quarterback depth chart. Driskel is currently on the practice squad and can only be elevated three times on gamedays before needing to be signed to the active roster.
