Jeff Driskel is joining the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad on Thursday as the team reshapes the quarterback depth chart with Kyler Murray sent to injured reserve a day prior, reports Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro.
The Cardinals made the move official and said Driskel will wear jersey No. 15.
Jacoby Brissett is the starter for the next four games at least, but Driskel gives Arizona a relatively experienced option on the depth chart. Current backup Kedon Slovis only has preseason experience under his belt since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent last season.
Driskel enters with familiarity with the offense, having spent time with the 2023 Cardinals as a backup and practice squad member.
He worked out for Arizona on Oct. 29 along with quarterbacks Kyle Trask and Logan Woodside.
The 32-year-old entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick in 2016 and has 25 games (12 starts) of experience between stints in San Francisco, Cincinnati, Detroit, Denver, Houston, Arizona, Cleveland, Washington and Las Vegas.
Driskel last started a game at the end of the 2023 season for the Browns, when he completed 50% of his throws for 166 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
