Bengals Tight End Erick All Tears ACL and Lands on Injured Reserve

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All has suffered a torn ACL and been placed on injured reserve, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Thursday. The injury removes a depth piece from the Bengals' tight end room and could push the club to target free-agent or practice-squad help as it adjusts its personnel for the stretch run. All, a former Iowa standout, had been working his way back into the rotation after earlier injury setbacks, and the latest blow ends his season just as Cincinnati looks for stability at the position. The Bengals must now lean on their remaining tight ends to fill the blocking and receiving snaps All had been handling, with the coaching staff expected to evaluate outside options in the coming days. The move was one of several injury updates across the league on Thursday, as teams juggle rosters heading into the second half of the season. For All, the focus now turns to surgery and rehabilitation, with the hope of returning in time to compete for a roster spot next season.
