The Cincinnati Bengals made headlines on Monday when they brought in veterans Leonard Fournette and Xavien Howard for workouts.
However, it doesn’t appear those will lead to anything.
Not long after word broke of Fournette visiting, FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reported that the Bengals were signing running back Gary Brightwell to the practice squad.
That will be the only move Cincinnati makes in the backfield for the time being, as Schultz later reported that Fournette will not be signed.
This is probably the right move to make after the Bengals traded a seventh-round NFL Draft pick to the Chicago Bears for Khalil Herbert last week.
