The Bengals cut Smith to make room for kicker Marshall Koehn when Randy Bullock was unable to kick due to a back injury. After Smith cleared waivers, the Bengals brought him back on the practice squad Tuesday.
Smith practiced with the team Wednesday, but Thursday he signed with Cleveland, whom the Bengals play in Week 12.
A sixth-round draft pick out of Fresno State in 2015, Smith appeared in 31 games, including three this season.
