Who Should I Start? Gary Brightwell or Bam Knight

Tuesday, October 29, 2:51 PM

The Cleveland Browns are releasing running back Gary Brightwell from the practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 2021 sixth-round pick out of Arizona spent the first three seasons of his career with the New York Giants before joining Cleveland's roster this year. He played in two games in 2024 but did not log a carry or reception. Overall, the 26-year-old has rushed 41 times for 164 yards and one touchdown in 37 career games.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Knight was surprisingly Arizona's backfield leader in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he came out of that game a little banged up. However, his return to a full practice on Thursday puts him on track to play this Sunday versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Knight played 37 offensive snaps on Sunday and had 12 touches for 54 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Michael Carter played 32 snaps, had 11 touches, and totaled 64 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old Knight is worth a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, but the Cardinals could go with the hot hand moving forward with Trey Benson (knee) on Injured Reserve. At best, Knight is setting up as a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex this week against Green Bay.
