While the Cincinnati Bengals may not be done adding guys to the roster—they could grab a guy or two after cut-down day—but the vast majority of additions have been made.

Now the Bengals’ coaching staff will have to evaluate the team they have and pick the best 53 players capable of taking them back to the Super Bowl. There will be some pretty tough cuts. Here are some surprising players who could find themselves on the outside looking in.

Offense Mitchell Tinsley: Tinsley emerged in 2025 as a fun story. In a season racked with injuries, he wowed fans with acrobatic catches, including two touchdowns, and looked like he could emerge as another consistent weapon for Joe Burrow. Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are cemented as WR1 and WR2, but there’s a large drop-off between the two of them and WR3.

Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones are established, but Tinsley isn’t, which makes him a possible cut. Erick All Jr. : This is really unfortunate, because All has a ton of talent.
