# Erick All NFL player. Position: **TE**. Team: **CIN**. ## Quick Facts - **Position:** TE - **Team:** CIN (Cincinnati Bengals) - **Draft:** 2024 NFL Draft, 4th round pick - **Experience:** 3rd year in NFL ## 2026 Outlook Erick All Jr. is back on the practice field at OTAs after missing most of his first two NFL seasons due to a pair of ACL injuries. His journey is complicated: he tore his ACL in his final college game at Iowa (Oct 2023), and the repair wasn't done properly—leaving the outside of his knee unstable and tissue dying. He didn't discover this until he tore the same ACL in his rookie season against Las Vegas (Nov 2024). He then had to repair the previous surgery's damage before undergoing a standard ACL procedure, stretching a typical 9-10 month recovery into 16 months. He missed the second half of his rookie 2024 season and all of 2025. HC Zac Taylor praised All's attitude and mentality: "He loves football, that's really clear. He's passionate about it." Taylor noted getting him back on the field after months of rehab has been mentally beneficial for the player (per Bengals TE Erick All puts anger, doubt and injuries behind him to return to his soul-smashing happy place). At June OTAs, All is cleared for limited work (no contact), with full team participation still to come during training camp. All emerged as a two-way threat during his limited rookie action in 2024: 20 catches on 22 targets for 158 yards, plus ranked 11th in PFF grade among TEs with 123+ blocking snaps. His physical, violent style of play and willingness to block made him stand out—Taylor summarized it perfectly: "The word 'physical' in the dictionary is a picture of Erick All trying to put his face through somebody's soul." Fantasy implications remain uncertain. Another right knee injury would likely end his career, something All acknowledged. But he's optimistic, saying he feels "completely different" compared to when he first started rehab. If he stays healthy and gets full participation in training camp, he could carve out a role in Cincinnati's tight end mix, though 2026 will be largely about proving his durability and regaining football conditioning after such an extended absence. ## Role / Depth Chart Competing for snaps at TE after extended injury recovery. Status unclear heading into training camp. ## Injury Status Recovering from second ACL tear (surgically repaired, 16-month recovery). History of ACL injuries (college + 2x NFL) presents elevated reinjury risk. As of June 3 OTAs, cleared for limited work—walkthroughs and no-contact drills on the practice field. Full participation target for July training camp. All reports feeling "completely different" and "completely healthy" compared to start of rehab, though another tear would likely end career. ## Recent News - 2026-04-29 — Bengals Way-Too-Early Depth Chart Projection: Depth becomes much improved following...
