Bengals Trying Out QBs Reid Sinnett & Drew Plitt

According to Ian Rapoport, the Bengals are bringing in free agent QBs Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt for tryouts. 

This comes after the news that Joe Burrow is set to miss several weeks with a calf strain. 

Sinnett recently tried out for the Seahawks and Colts. 

Sinnett, 26, originally signed on with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego.  He was among Tampa Bay’s final roster cuts coming out of training camp and re-signed to the practice squad, but was cut loose a day later. 

The Dolphins signed Sinnett to their practice squad after a week and was eventually promoted back in November 2020. Miami re-signed him to a futures deal for the 2021 season only to release him coming out of the preseason. He bounced on and off of their roster before being claimed by the Eagles. He was among Philadelphia’s final roster cuts coming out of the preseason. 

Sinnett was most recently a member of the Dolphins’ practice squad during the 2022 season. He is yet to appear in a regular-season game in his pro career. 

During his four-year college career, Sinnett appeared in 45 games and recorded 275 completions on 423 pass attempts (65 percent) for 3,844 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, to go along with 93 rushing attempts for 268 yards (2.9 YPC) and seven touchdowns.
