Former Bengals LB Preston Brown already cut by Raiders

Preston Brown was already cut by the Raiders.

The Cincinnati Bengals shocked onlookers by cutting veteran linebacker Preston Brown in the middle of this strife-filled season.

Brown turned around and linked up with the Oakland Raiders — but only for a single game.

The Raiders announced Brown among three cuts Tuesday, all of a day removed from Raiders head coach Jon Gruden making it clear he wanted to make some wide-sweeping changes to the defense.

Brown spent one game with Oakland, playing 17 snaps. Prior to that, he had inked a three-year extension with the Bengals, only to be cut in an uncharacteristic manner by the team after nine games.

After getting cut by the Bengals, Brown sent out a message to his hometown.

Based on his departure only a few games ago though, don’t expect a reunion in Cincinnati.
