Free agent running back Orleans Darkwa is in Cleveland for workout with the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

Darkwa missed all of last season under mysterious circumstances after previously establishing himself as a worthwhile playmaker with the New York Giants. He later revealed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon during an October workout following a free-agent visit from the Jacksonville Jaguars, ensuring he'd be unable to sign with a team for the 2018 season.

“I did go underground. I didn't know what to say,” Darkwa told ESPN in February of his radio silence after the injury. “My parents saw how much I was hurting. We talked about it. They wanted to see where my mindset was at. After we talked, and we talked for a while, it was a collective decision to kind of keep it under wraps and see how the rehab went.”

Approximately nine months after his injury, Darkwa is reportedly back to 100 percent.

Undrafted in 2014 out of Tulane, he spent his first three seasons in the NFL as a backup, briefly for the Miami Dolphins and then with the Giants. After appearing in 26 games and totaling 66 carries with New York in 2015 and 2016, Darkwa finally got the opportunity to play a consistent role offensively due to an injury to starting running back Paul Perkins. He rushed 751 yards and five touchdowns on 111 carries in 2017, easy career-high numbers, but turned down a modest contract offer from the Giants in free agency the following spring.

The Browns are stacked at running back with sophomore star Bradley Chubb and former Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro Kareem Hunt. But with veteran Duke Johnson requesting a trade and Hunt out for six games as a result of him assaulting a woman at a Cleveland hotel last year, the Browns could certainly use some additional depth in the backfield for the first half of the regular season.
