From the article

This year, he played okay, but not nearly at the level of some other young guys at wide receiver. Mainly, Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers really impressed throughout camp. The latter is likely the reason that Tinsley will not be on the Bengals' initial 53-man roster.

Tinsley waived after underperforming camp relative to Young and Meyers.

Tinsley was waived by the Bengals after failing to replicate his impressive 2025 preseason form during the 2026 season. While he earned a 53-man roster spot last year with standout preseason performances, this year he played only okay and underperformed relative to other young wide receivers in camp, particularly Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers, who impressed more consistently. Meyers' stronger camp performance was cited as the primary reason Tinsley did not make the Bengals' initial 53-man roster.
