Ancient Cleveland Browns Running back Gary Brightwell signed with the Cincinnati Bengals‘ training team, via NFL Media.

The Browns initially signed Brightwell to their own practice squad after he was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in late August.

Brightwell ended up playing a few games for Cleveland this season, but he didn’t record any stats.

The Browns severed ties with the 25-year-old late last month.

Brightwell, who played college football at the University of Arizona, was originally selected by the New York Giants in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

He spent the first three years of his career with the Giants, with his most productive campaign coming in 2022 when he totaled 141 yards and a touchdown. In total, Brightwell carried the ball 41 times for 164 yards and a score while adding 11 catches for 92 yards in New York.

The Giants waived Brightwell in June. He would sign with the Jaguars two months later. He played in all three of Jacksonville’s preseason games, carrying the ball 26 times for 100 yards. However, the Jags didn’t think he was productive enough to warrant a spot on the 53-man roster.

Brightwell spent four seasons in Arizona, rushing for 1,305 yards and nine scores while averaging 5.3 yards per attempt. He also caught 19 passes for 121 yards while reaching the end zone once.

The Bengals, Cleveland’s hated AFC North rivals, have Chase Brown as their starting back and recently reached a deal with the Chicago Bears for Khalil Herbert, so barring injury, playing time could be hard to come by for Brightwell .
