Gary Brightwell, a former running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, has signed with the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad after a brief stint with the Cleveland Browns. Brightwell showcased his skills during preseason but was ultimately released by the Jaguars as they opted for other options in their backfield.

Despite a less than stellar college career at the University of Arizona, Brightwell's physical running style caught the Bengals' attention, leading to his signing over veteran Leonard Fournette.
