CINCINNATI — The Bengals aren't signing former fourth overall pick Leonard Fournette after bringing him in for a workout and visit, league sources confirmed.

Fournette, 29, was hoping to join the practice squad after his workout and possibly contribute down the stretch of the season. He's ran for 4,518 yards and 34 touchdowns in 81 regular season games with the Jaguars, Buccaneers and Bills.

The Bengals opted to sign Gary Brightwell to the practice squad instead. Learn more about Brightwell here.
