Washington’s Mitchell Tinsley has secured a spot on the Bengals’ roster after an impressive preseason display. The wide receiver caught five passes for 73 yards in Monday night’s game against the Commanders, including two touchdowns.
Tinsley’s performance was praised by quarterback Jake Browning, who said he was good at contested catches and releases. Browning highlighted Tinsley’s ability to make plays on the ball, particularly in contested situations.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor also commended Tinsley, saying he has become a respected figure in the locker room due to his work ethic and dedication. Taylor praised Tinsley for creating opportunities for himself and making the most of the chances he had.
Tinsley’s success was not limited to his receiving skills. Fourth-round pick Barrett Carter made an interception in the first half, which set up Tinsley’s second touchdown. Carter also led the team in tackles with seven and showed his potential as a pass defender.
Quarterback Joe Burrow praised Tinsley, saying he hoped so that he would make it to the roster. The Bengals’ defense struggled at times, but the backups performed well, allowing only a field goal and 152 yards for the rest of the game.
Overall, Tinsley’s impressive display has cemented his place on the Bengals’ roster, and he is expected to be an important contributor in the team’s future.
