St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - The St. Louis Rams acquired defensive tackle Orien Harris from the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday in exchange for running back Brian Leonard.

Harris appeared in 14 games for the Bengals last season, recording 24 tackles.

"We feel Orien is a good addition to our roster," said Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo. "This move allows us to add more depth to our defensive line rotation. We appreciate Brian's contributions to the Rams these past two years and we wish him the best in Cincinnati."

Selected in the second round of the 2007 draft, Leonard played in 18 career games for the Rams, amassing 310 yards on 88 carries.
