Marcas Grant dismissed Mitchell Tinsley’s 5-catch, 73-yard, 2-TD revenge game against Washington as a classic preseason mirage. Zac Taylor’s postgame "baller" comment was laced with coachspeak about work ethic and locker-room respect, and Grant reminded readers the Bengals’ pecking order is locked: Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on top, followed by Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton, and Charlie Jones. Even if Tinsley makes the 53-man roster, he sits several injuries away from meaningful targets, so Grant sees no reason to spend a draft pick or early waiver claim on the UDFA wideout.
