Mitchell Tinsley waived by the Bengals

Will Tinsley go unclaimed on waivers?

Mitchell Tinsley waived by the Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mitch Tinsley has been waived by the team, according to sources. Tinsley, who shined in the 2025 preseason and earned a spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster last season, has not performed at the same level this year as some of the other young wide receiver prospects like Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers.

Meyers is likely the reason Tinsley will not make the initial roster. The Bengals still have decisions to make regarding the sixth wide receiver spot, potentially opting for 5 wide receivers and 5 tight ends. If that happens, Meyers may become the primary returner. Tinsley's future may lie on the Bengals' practice squad if he is not claimed by another team on waivers.
