Browns To Work Out Orleans Darkwa

The Browns will work out running back Orleans Darkwa on Monday, as Josina Anderson of ESPN.com tweets. Darkwa last played for the Giants in 2017 and is looking to make his NFL return. 

Darkwa’s 2018 comeback attempt and workout tour was halted by a torn Achilles that knocked him out for the rest of the season. Now fully healthy, he’s looking to get back to the form he exhibited in 2017 when he rushed for 751 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 171 carries.

The Browns’ audition of Darkwa may be a prelude to granting Duke Johnson‘s trade request. As of this writing, the Browns refuse to move Johnson with the goal of keeping him as a backup to standout Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (once he returns from his eight-game suspension.)

For his career, Darkwa has 246 carries for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns.
