Overview
- The Bengals confirmed Sunday that Dohnte Meyers made their initial 53-man roster and shared a team video of wide receivers coach Troy Walters calling to deliver the news.
- Meyers went undrafted in 2023 after stops at Presbyterian and Delta State and then played two seasons for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL.
- His 2025 CFL breakout of 65 catches for 1,056 yards and eight touchdowns drew NFL interest and led Cincinnati to sign him to a reserve/futures contract earlier in 2026.
- Meyers drove seven hours from Atlanta for a last-minute workout and impressed quarterback Joe Burrow in an unscheduled throwing session before earning playing time in preseason games.
- He produced catches and a few rushing attempts across the preseason and will start 2026 as a depth offensive option and special-teams contributor while the Bengals finalize their roster and practice squad.
