Who should we add when Driskel goes on IR or cut/add?

Or perhaps they want Driskel to have an opportunity to continue his growth before the end of the year? Is he not allowed to even practice if he's technically on IR?

A team rarely ever uses its 3rd QB, so this one was always a head scratcher.

Or maybe they think/hope they could move McCarron midway through the season and then bring back Driskel to actually back up Dalton.

Players on IR cannot practice, however I believe those with the Return designation are given a waiver for a few weeks to practice before returning or being shut down for good.  If Driskell is expected to take the back up role from AJM, he is going to need to get more practice time in while he can.
