Derron Smith leaves Bengals’ practice squad to join Browns; Scott Orndoff re-signed
The Cincinnati Bengals have once again had a practice squad change, though this one wasn’t quite of their own volition.
On Thursday, Derron Smith terminated his practice squad agreement with the Bengals so he could join the Cleveland Browns’ 53-man roster. The Browns had an extra roster spot after they waived safety Ibraheim Campbell due to injury.
Yes, you’re reading that correctly. Smith essentially cut the Bengals in order to join the worst team in football. You can’t really blame him since it’s the 53-man roster, but you’d like to think he was close to getting back on the Bengals’ roster once a free spot emerged.
