Erick All Jr. returns to full duty for Bengals season opener

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. is cleared for regular-season action following a prolonged recovery from a 2024 ACL injury. Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Tuesday that the tight end will have no limitations during the team’s upcoming season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All missed the entire 2025 season due to surgical complications after tearing his ACL nine games into his rookie campaign. Although he did not participate in preseason games, he spent training camp preparing for a return to the field. Taylor stated that he does not intend to ease All back into the lineup, confirming the tight end is slated for a full workload. The Bengals look to utilize All’s skills as both a receiver and a blocker as they begin the 2026 season.
