Erick All returns to Cincinnati Bengals roster following multi-year injury layoff
Summary

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. is set to play in his first regular-season game in nearly two years following extensive recovery from recurring knee injuries. The tight end was sidelined for the entirety of the 2025 season after requiring a second surgery on an ACL tear originally sustained during his rookie campaign. All has been cleared for participation with no limitations ahead of the team's upcoming contest. The Bengals selected the tight end in the 2024 NFL Draft, but his professional career has been marked by rehabilitation periods following back and knee injuries. Upon his return, All joins a crowded offensive unit that features Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, along with fellow tight ends Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Jack Endries. The tight end has stated his primary objective is to complete the season in good health while contributing to team victories.
