From the article

Brooks, the team's third running back, didn't do a lot to inspire confidence that, if the Bengals were to lean on him, he would be able to move the ball down the field. He only averaged 3.8 yards per carry on his 13 total rushing attempts.

Brooks' 3.8 YPC uninspiring, but lacks competition after Jacobs exempt list placement.

Brooks made the roster as the team's third running back despite not inspiring confidence; he averaged only 3.8 yards per carry on 13 rushing attempts. Backup options Kentrel Bullock and Jamal Haynes both averaged more yards per carry and looked solid in preseason, but Brooks retains his spot with no real competition after Josh Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list and Kaleb Johnson was traded to the Packers.
