What alarms me even more that this move, is adding Chykie Brown and Trey Hopkins to the 53.  Could this be the tell-tale sign that the injuries to Dennard, Ogbuihe, and Fisher are more serious than they are letting on?

Driskel basically hit the lottery with (now) having Dalton and McCarron as role models, Zampese et al for a coaching staff, and will likely get some tutoring from someone in the Tom House group as well. No doubt in my mind that the Bengals see something in him that is worthwhile pursuing. Even with Wenning being well-versed in our system, he lost his spot to Driskel.

And speaking of being well-versed in our system, I see that as the driving factor behind bringing Brown and Hopkins back, for the time being at least. Beyond that, upgrades at those positions can't appear soon enough imho.
