Erick All Jr. Injury News & Updates

The Bengals placed All (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

The move technically means that All would be eligible to return after missing a minimum of four regular-season games. However, the 2024 fourth-rounder is not expected to play in 2025 while recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered in Week 9 of his rookie season. He's suffered the same injury to his right knee twice in the last two seasons dating back to his final year at Iowa, so the Bengals will take All's rehab cautiously, with the hope that he will be fully healthy for 2026.

All (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2025 season, James Rapien of SI.com reports.

All is present for training camp, but merely as an observer with a large brace around his right knee. He tore the ACL in his right knee both of the past two seasons, limiting him to seven games in his final collegiate campaign and nine appearances as an NFL rookie. The 2024 fourth-round pick apparently will take his rehab slower this time, focusing on 2026 and beyond rather than trying to make it back at some point this season.

The Bengals placed All (knee) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

All tore the ACL in his right knee in Wek 9 last season and spent the remainder of the campaign on IR. While the 24-year-old is technically eligible to return to practice at any point as long as he's medically cleared, there's a strong chance that he'll need to sit out the entire 2025 season while rehabbing from the injury.

All (knee) is a candidate to miss the entire 2025 campaign due to the right ACL tear he sustained early November, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.

All's ACL tear has been diagnosed as severe enough that two surgeries will be required for his right knee to return to full health. The first procedure has already occurred, and the second -- which will effectively kickstart the normal recovery timetable for such an injury -- is expected in the early months of the offseason. All managed to impress in his nine appearances (six starts) as a rookie, in which he secured 20 of 22 targets for 158. Further updates on All's health figure to arrive in the offseason, but it looks like a real possibility that the 2024 fourth-round pick could be sidelined his entire sophomore campaign.

The Bengals placed All (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

All will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the ACL in his right knee for the second time in just over a year in this past Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. The rookie tight end suited up in each of the Bengals' first nine games, turning in a 20-158-0 receiving line on 22 targets. Given the early November timing of his upcoming surgery in addition to the fact that it's his second operation on the knee, All may not be back to 100 percent by the start of the 2025 season.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said All suffered an ACL tear in his right knee in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The setback is a devastating one for All, who has now torn the ACL in his right knee for the second time in just over a year after he previously sustained the injury Oct. 14, 2023 during his final collegiate season at Iowa. Despite not being cleared for full practices with the Bengals until mid-August after being drafted in the fourth round in April, All had gotten off to a strong start to his rookie season, recording 20 receptions for 158 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets through Cincinnati's first nine games. All's absence for the remainder of the season could open up extra reps for the four healthy tight ends on Cincinnati's 53-man roster (Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson and Tanner McLachlan).

Head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged after Sunday's win over the Raiders that he's concerned about the knee injury All sustained in the contest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Before hurting his knee Sunday, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. If the 2024 fourth-rounder ends up missing time, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson would be candidates to see added TE snaps alongside Mike Gesicki.

All exited Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right knee injury.

Prior to that, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. While he's sidelined, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson will handle the Bengals' tight end duties versus Las Vegas.

All caught two passes for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Eagles. He played 24 snaps, and those were his only two targets.

All was out-snapped Mike Gesicki (31), who was also more active in the passing game. All's blocking advantage over Gesicki was negated by the game script in the second half, once the Bengals fell behind in the third quarter.

All didn't have a catch in Sunday's win over the Browns, getting targeted once on 28 snaps.

Playing time wasn't a problem for All, but game flow was. The Bengals played with a lead from the opening kickoff, and then accomplished nothing offensively in the first half. Then once they got out to a 21-6 lead, they barely attempted to throw.

All caught two of this three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.

All ranked second in tight end snaps (23) Sunday, behind Drew Sample (26) and ahead of both Mike Gesicki (19) and Tanner Hudson (4). With that said, All was the only tight end to be targeted in the passing game. The rookie has stepped into the No. 1 role as the Bengals' top pass catching option at tight end, but with wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins seeing most of the targets, All will likely continue to see limited volume. All will look to take a step forward in Week 7 when the Bengals visit the Browns.

All caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Ravens.

All led all Cincinnati tight ends in playing time Sunday, as he was on the field for 52 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. As the rookie tight end continues to develop, its possible he can overtake Mike Gesicki as the unquestioned No. 1 option at tight end, but for now they both appear to be splitting duties closely as pass catching options. Nonetheless, All will look to continue his emergence in the offense as the Bengals visit the Giants in Week 6.

All secured all four his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.

With Sunday's performance, All has now recorded four catches on four targets in three-straight games. In addition, his 60 percent offensive snap share was a season-high. Though the rookie is No. 2 on the tight end depth chart, he played 18 more snaps than veteran Mike Gesicki in the contest. All's solid play may earn him even more opportunities going forward. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder will look to be more involved in Week 5 when the Bengals host the Ravens.

All secured all four of his targets for 22 yards in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.

All played 21 of Cincinnati's 62 offensive snaps Monday, behind both Mike Gesicki (31) and Drew Sample (25). Despite operating as the No. 3 tight end, the rookie saw four targets for the second-straight week. All's limited production with his opportunties, coupled with his spot on the depth chart, make him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy. The Bengals will square off against the Panthers in Week 4.

All secured all four of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

All was much more involved in Week 2 after failing to earn a single target in Week 1. The rookie tight end played 33 of the Bengals' 64 offensive snaps against the Chiefs, but he was unable to make much of an impact for fantasy purposes. Heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Commanders, All will likely continue to see a minimal role as the Bengals' fourth tight end behind Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson.

All caught his lone target for 10 yards in Thursday's 27-14 preseason loss to the Colts.

All also blocked well, as the rookie fourth-round pick got a chance to showcase his versatile skill set while the Bengals' top skill players got the night off. Having recovered from a torn ACL that he suffered in October at Iowa, All will almost certainly earn a spot on Cincinnati's 53-man roster, but the tight end's likely to begin his career in a depth role behind some combination of Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson when the Bengals begin regular-season play Sept. 8 against the Patriots.

The Bengals activated All (knee) from the active/NFI list Sunday.

All has been recovering from a torn ACL suffered last October, and he opened training camp on the active/NFI list on July 20. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Iowa will now be cleared to practice for the first time after finally passing a physical examination. All logged 21 catches for 299 yards and three touchdowns over just seven games during his final collegiate season. He will look to ramp up in time for the Bengals' first preseason game Aug. 10 versus Tampa Bay.

The Bengals placed All (knee) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday.

All tore the ACL in his right knee last October, but that didn't prevent Cincinnati from selecting him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. It's not clear how far along All in his recovery or whether he'll be ready to play by the start of the regular season. However, he can be activated off the NFI list at any point during training camp, at which point he'd be able to practice and play in preseason contests.
