Mitchell Tinsley is an American professional football wide receiver currently playing for the Cincinnati Bengals in the National Football League (NFL). After a collegiate career that included playing for Hutchinson Community College, Western Kentucky, and Penn State, he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Commanders in 2023 before joining the Bengals.
Tinsley has recently gained attention as an emerging contributor to the Bengals' offense. His notability stems from his increased role on the team, particularly during a period when the Bengals' star wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, was unavailable.
He has been featured in recent sports news following a touchdown reception in a late 2025 game, which helped bring his team within scoring range. Multiple sports outlets have highlighted him as a potential under-the-radar weapon for the Bengals, suggesting he is a player to watch as he capitalizes on expanded opportunities in the lineup.
