Cincinnati Bengals release wide receivers Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones

The Cincinnati Bengals finalized their 53-man roster as of September 2, 2026, resulting in the departure of multiple players. Among the most notable roster moves was the decision to release wide receivers Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones. Both players participated in training camp and saw action during the preseason, including the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles on August 28, 2026. Following their release from the Cincinnati organization, both athletes secured opportunities elsewhere in the league. Charlie Jones signed with the New York Giants practice squad, while Mitchell Tinsley joined the practice squad for the Houston Texans. The team now turns its attention to the regular season with a revised lineup, having navigated several difficult personnel decisions to reach the league-mandated roster limit.
