Brightwell reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Brightwell was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots, playing six snaps on special teams, including a 24-yard kickoff return. Fellow running back Tahj Brooks (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 13 already, while Samaje Perine (ankle) was estimated to be a full participant at the team's walkthrough Monday. Brightwell can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Brightwell was elevated from the Bengals' practice squad Saturday. Brightwell has been on Cincinnati's practice squad since August. He is expected to play a depth role for the Bengals in Week 12, as fellow running back Samaje Perine is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 26-year-old Brightwell will play behind starter Chase Brown and Tahj Brooks.

Brightwell signed with Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday. Brightwell remains with the Bengals as organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. He or fellow practice squad running back Kendall Milton would presumably be next in line for opportunities should injuries befall any of the three running backs on Cincinnati's 53-man roster.

Cincinnati signed Brightwell to its practice squad Monday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. Less than two weeks after being cut from the Browns' practice squad, Brightwell has now found another opportunity with their division rival. The Bengals currently have four running backs on their active roster, so it would probably take at least one injury for him to see any game action during the second half of the season.
