Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel is listed as questionable for his team's game against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day due to a hamstring issue, per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

Driskel initially sustained the injury during the Lions' loss to the Washington Redskins last Sunday and has been listed as a limited participant in practice throughout the week.

Of course, Detroit is already down its starting quarterback, as Matthew Stafford is sidelined with a back injury.

Should Driskel be unable to go against the Bears, David Blough, who took some reps with the first team during the week in order to prepare for the possibility that Driskel won't play, would start under center.

Driskel has made three starts this season, throwing for 685 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 59 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 75.3. The Lions have lost all three of his starts.

The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at both the University of Florida and Louisiana Tech, was originally selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round (207th pick overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.

However, Driskel never actually played a regular-season game for the 49ers before being cut in September 2016. He then joined the Cincinnati Bengals, where he resided through 2018 and made five starts, all of them coming last season.

Overall, Driskel made nine appearances to go along with his five starts in 2018, finishing with 1,003 yards, six touchdowns and a couple of picks while completing 59.7 percent of his throws and registering a passer rating of 82.2.

He linked up with Detroit this past September after being cut by Cincinnati.

The Lions are 3-7-1 on the year.
