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.

Gary Brightwell: Let go from practice squad
The Browns cut Brightwell from the practice squad Tuesday.
Brightwell's departure from the practice squad opens up a spot for wide receiver James Proche.

However, Brightwell was limited to a special teams role in Week 3 and 4, and he was let go from the 53-man roster Oct. 1.
