Mitchell Tinsley caught 1-of-2 targets for 16 yards in the Bengals’ Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

14 December 2025

Tinsley saw a season-high nine targets in Week 12 when playing in place of Tee Higgins (concussion). With Higgins sidelined again due to another brain injury this week, Tinsley was unable to replicate his target volume, with only two looks coming his way in the shutout loss. Tinsley hauled in a 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter, and just missed hauling in a pass in the end zone on that same drive a few plays later. Assuming Higgins is able to return in Week 16 against the Dolphins, Tinsley will go back into his backup role.
