Another setback for Erick All Jr.
Cincinnati placed tight end Erick All Jr. on injured reserve on Tuesday, two days after he hurt his knee in the Bengals’ 35-13 win at Baltimore. NFL Network reported the injury is believed to be a torn ACL, though the team has not confirmed a diagnosis or a timeline.
The report carries extra weight because it is the same type of knee injury All suffered as a rookie. That one cost him the last seven games of 2024, and he then missed all of 2025.
He is 26, and the Bengals took him in the fourth round of the 2024 draft.

A career in short bursts
When healthy this season, All was a depth piece rather than a centerpiece. He played six games with one start and caught eight passes for 56 yards.
His career numbers show how little time he has had on the field: 28 catches for 214 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games, seven of them starts. The talent that earned him a draft slot has rarely had a chance to show up in the box score.
The article behind the news does not say which knee is involved, so the exact recovery window remains open. For Cincinnati, the immediate job is sorting out the tight end rotation while a promising player faces another long rehab.
