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