The Bengals made several notable roster moves this week, largely driven by injuries and the need to reshape depth heading into Week 4.
On Sept. 26, Cincinnati placed wide receiver Andrei Iosivas on injured reserve after he suffered a thumb injury against Houston. The move opens a 53-man-roster spot but also means Iosivas will miss at least the next four games. To help compensate, the Bengals signed linebacker Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad to the active roster. Tight end Tanner Hudson was also elevated for the Pittsburgh game, although he reverted to the practice squad afterward as a standard elevation.
The bigger round of moves came Tuesday, Sept. 29. Cincinnati placed cornerback Jalen Davis on injured reserve after his hamstring injury in Pittsburgh. The Bengals waived wide receiver Ke'Shawn Williams, who had appeared in one game this season.
Cincinnati then brought back a familiar face, signing wide receiver Mitch Tinsley off the Houston Texans' practice squad. Tinsley spent the 2025 season and this past offseason with the Bengals before being waived during final roster cuts, so his return gives the receiving corps another experienced option following Iosivas' injury.
The Bengals also promoted Tanner Hudson from the practice squad to the active roster permanently. Hudson had already been elevated for Cincinnati's first two games and has three catches for 17 yards this season.
Finally, Cincinnati added two safeties to its practice squad: Isaiah Nwokobia, a former Bengals offseason signing from SMU, and Beau Brade, who has previous regular-season experience with Baltimore and the New York Giants.
In total, the Bengals placed two players on IR, waived two players, added Tinsley and Hudson to the active roster, and added two safeties to the practice squad this week.
