Receiver Mitchell Tinsley has joined the Houston Texans practice squad one day after being released by the Cincinnati Bengals. Tinsley was waived as the Bengals finalized their 53-man roster. During his 2025 season in Cincinnati, he played in all 17 regular-season games, recording eight catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns. Tinsley originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Commanders in 2023 and joined the Bengals on a reserve/future contract in early 2025. After showing promise during camp and preseason performances, he now joins a Texans receiving corps looking to stabilize its depth. He will work with the Houston organization to build on his early NFL experience.
