CINCINNATI — Coming off a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cincinnati Bengals have a shake-up at the back of their wide receiver/tight end room that has a significant impact on offense as well as special teams.
The Bengals cut returner Ke’Shawn Williams, signed receiver Mitchell Tinsley and promoted pass catching tight end Tanner Hudson from the practice squad.
When Meyers made the Bengals’ 53-man roster, he took a roster spot from Tinsley. 3 receiver Andrei Iosivas is also on injured reserve with a thumb injury. Hudson has proven to be a versatile player on the Bengals, and he has delivered some important clutch plays since he joined the team in 2023.
Because certain guys you put in there and the personnel groupings will change on defense, it’s hard. In limited action, Meyers has shown impressive flashes as a returner. Meyers has also seen his role on the offense increase every week. “He was a part of the game plan , but that really expanded when Colbie went out. He had a really good feel for what we asked him to do. He blocked some big guys. “Sometimes, Dohnte draws a difficult task with his responsibility. I thought he gave everything he possibly could to make those blocks we needed from him. He did a good job of understanding the game plan and the tweaks we needed from him in there. Really proud of what he did. Tinsley had eight catches, including six for first downs and two touchdowns last season. He also proved to be a reliable blocker in the running game. the Bengals jumped at the chance to bring him back once Young got injured While Tinsley went to the Texans’ practice squad for the first three weeks of the season. Bengals No. His feel for defensive coverages and his steady hands have made him a quarterback friendly option for the Bengals at tight end. he has extensive experience playing in the slot and factors into the plan at receiver While Hudson is technically a tight end.
“I thought Dohnte did an excellent job,” coach Zac Taylor said. Williams made the team as a returner, but he fumbled a punt on Sunday against the Steelers.
