Browns claim receiver James Wright via waivers from Bengals

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Hue Jackson has brought another of his former Bengals players on board.

The Browns on Tuesday claimed receiver James Wright from the Bengals, who waived him on Monday.

On Thursday, Jackson, former Bengals offensive coordinator, signed one of his former Bengals guards Kevin Zeitler as an unrestricted free agent.

Last season, Wright started two of his 13 games, catching 13 passes for 106 yards. He also finished second on the team with 11 special teams tackles.

Originally a seventh round pick of the Bengals in 2014 out of LSU, Wright (6-0, 203) caught five passes for 91 yards as a rookie before tearing his posterior cruciate ligament in November.
