Bengals plan to use Jeff Driskel at wide receiver and on special teams

A big question mark after the Bengals traded up for quarterback Ryan Finley in the draft, was what were the Bengals going to do with Jeff Driskel. Would the team try and keep three quarterbacks on their roster, or would they cut ties with the veteran backup?

Well, it seemed as though Finley’s early struggles in the spring made it more likely Cincinnati would keep Driskel to be their second quarterback, but after the rookie showed off during the first week of the preseason by throwing for over 100 yards, it now appears the Bengals may be trying to find a way to justify keeping Driskel, even if it doesn’t mean he will be the backup quarterback.
