STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Tinsley lost receiver competition to Meyers and Young after last year's preseason breakout.

Tinsley's roster status declined sharply after being a preseason standout last year and earning a 53-man roster spot in 2025; he remained in conversation entering 2026 camp but was outperformed by Dohnte Meyers and Colbie Young. Cincinnati's final receiver group became Chase, Higgins, Iosivas, Young, Meyers, and Williams, leaving Tinsley out. While he could return if he clears waivers, other teams may have noticed his previous year's performance.
