Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expressed optimism about wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley’s chances of making the 53-man roster. In Monday night’s game, Tinsley played a significant role after Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were absent due to injury or reasons unknown. Despite limited playing time, Tinsley caught two touchdowns in a short span and impressed coach Zac Taylor, who praised him as “a baller” for his self-created opportunities during the summer.
Burrow stated that being without key players like Chase and Higgins was “really valuable” for the team’s adaptability during the season. If Burrow gets his wish, Tinsley will be among those waiting to hear back about a roster spot.
