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.
Dohnte Meyers is expected to take over as the primary returner when the Bengals host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Tinsley, who played for the Bengals in 2025, steps into a role on the offense. And Hudson steps into a bigger role with rookie receiver Colbie Young now expected to miss time with an injury.
Williams made the team as a returner, but he fumbled a punt on Sunday against the Steelers. In limited action, Meyers has shown impressive flashes as a returner. Meyers has also seen his role on the offense increase every week.
"I thought Dohnte did an excellent job," coach Zac Taylor said. "He was a part of the game plan (in Week 3 against the Steelers), but that really expanded when Colbie went out. He had a really good feel for what we asked him to do."
