Cincinnati Bengals have signed wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley from the Houston Texans, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old player was a key contributor on the Texans' practice squad during the 2025 season, making eight receptions for 116 receiving yards and scoring two touchdowns. Tinsley also had a notable role on special teams.
Despite spending the offseason with Cincinnati, including participating in training camp, he initially signed with the Texans. However, he has returned to the Bengals and could potentially play a significant role on offense this season. The team is in need of a reliable third wide receiver, currently filling that position with Andrei Iosivas, who is on injured reserve due to a thumb injury.
Rookie Colbie Young was also unable to play in Week 3 due to a knee injury, with only Dohnte Meyers and Ke’Shawn Williams available to contribute at that position. The transition for Tinsley could be swift, given his familiarity with the Bengals' offensive scheme. The Bengals face the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 4 matchup.
