Report: Bengals are signing Mitch Tinsley from Texans practice squad

The Cincinnati Bengals are signing wide receiver Mitch Tinsley off the Houston Texans’ practice squad and onto their active roster, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Schefter reported Tuesday, September 29, that Tinsley had been in Cincinnati’s camp this summer before joining Houston’s practice squad and is now returning to the Bengals.

Cincinnati is 2-1, with its offense ranked 10th and its defense also ranked 10th in EPA among 32 teams. The matching rankings place the Bengals in the top 10 on both sides of the ball through the record provided in Keel Stats’ team data.

The Texans are 0-3. Houston’s offense ranks 24th in EPA among 32 teams, while its defense ranks 20th. Tinsley’s reported move comes from Houston’s practice squad to Cincinnati’s active roster.

Keel Stats does not have individual player data for Tinsley, so there is no Keel Impact rating or season statistical line to compare with Cincinnati’s team profile. The available numbers frame the move around a Bengals team with 10th-ranked EPA units on offense and defense and a Texans team ranked 24th on offense and 20th on defense.
