The Cincinnati Bengals are undergoing a transformation in their backfield, highlighted by the signing of Gary Brightwell from the New York Giants to their practice squad. This move follows the placement of Zack Moss on injured reserve due to a neck injury, which may sideline him for the season.

In addition to Brightwell, the Bengals had previously acquired Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears to bolster their running game. Brightwell, who had a modest career with the Giants, adds depth behind starter Chase Brown as Cincinnati looks to solidify their roster.

Meanwhile, Leonard Fournette, a veteran running back, was also part of the recent workouts but seems to be heading in a different direction after spending time with the Buffalo Bills. Once a standout with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Fournette's future in Cincinnati appears uncertain.
