Browning won the backup job in Cincinnati in 2023 and went on to throw for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across seven starts. He also saw time as the starte last season after Joe Burrow went down, but he later lost the job to Joe Flacco. He'll likely seek a backup role with another team.

Jake Browning completed 26-of-40 pass attempts for 251 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions while also rushing four times for a team-high 31 yards in the Bengals' 37-24 loss to the Lions in Week 5.

Browning has struggled with turnovers since taking over for Joe Burrow (toe) behind center, throwing two or more interceptions in three of four games for the Bengals. The signal-caller will remain difficult to trust in two-QB formats ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
