NFL: Bengals get RB Leonard from Rams

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals have obtained running back Brian Leonard in a trade with St. Louis.

The Rams got reserve defensive tackle Orien Harris in the deal Thursday.

Leonard was the Rams' second-round draft pick in 2007. He played in 16 games with seven starts as rookie, rushing for 303 yards and catching 30 passes for 183 yards.

Last season, Leonard played in only two of the Rams' first five games due to a shoulder injury, then spent the rest of the season on injured reserve.

The Bengals claimed Harris on waivers from New Orleans last August. He played mainly on special teams.
