Commanders Sign Veteran QB Jeff Driskel Amidst Injury Woes

AutoDraft Pro AI

The Washington Commanders are signing veteran quarterback Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad to bolster their depth for the final two weeks of the season. Washington is thin at the position after starting quarterback Jayden Daniels was shut down for the year and his replacement, Marcus Mariota, suffered a hand injury on Sunday. Driskel, who was with the Commanders last season and has a 10-year NFL career, will join a quarterback room where Josh Johnson appears to be the likely starter for the upcoming Christmas game against the Cowboys.
