Bengals TE Erick All is expected to miss the entire 2025 season after re-tearing his right ACL in November, according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner. All originally tore that ACL while at Iowa in 2023 and had lingering issues that "left a risk of reinjury once reaching the NFL," Dehner writes. This latest injury will require two surgeries -- the first is already done but the second will happen later this offseason. "This process should set All up for the long term of his career with expectations to hit the ground running in the 2026 season," per Dehner.

The MRI on Bengals TE Erick All's right knee confirmed a torn ACL. He'll miss the rest of his 2024 rookie campaign. This is the same ACL that All tore just a little over a year ago, which figures to complicate his rehab. We'll see if he can make it back for the start of the 2025 season.

The Bengals fear a torn ACL for TE Erick All, according to insider Jordan Schultz. This is the same right ACL that All tore at Iowa in October 2023. He was in the midst of a promising rookie season, quickly carving out a role in Cincinnati's passing game. A torn ACL would end All's 2024 season and could threaten his availability for the start of 2025.

Bengals TE Erick All injured his right knee in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and is officially doubtful to return. That's the same knee in which he tore his ACL in 2023. We'll update All's status when we know more.

ESPN's Dan Graziano hears that there's "pessimism" about Bengals WR Tee Higgins' availability for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Higgins was added to the injury report with a quad on Friday, limited in practice, and listed as questionable. "The Bengals are planning to go right up until game time before deciding" on Higgins' status, Graziano adds. We'll look for more updates on Higgins on Sunday morning and get Cincinnati's inactives around 11:30 am ET. His absence would mean more target potential for WR Ja'Marr Chase, WR Andrei Iosivas, and the Bengals RBs and TEs. It'd also be a significant loss for QB Joe Burrow.

The Bengals on Sunday activated rookie TE Erick All from the non-football injury list. He had been sitting out the start of camp in working back from the October ACL tear that ended his college career prematurely.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow said recently that his offense should be ready to use more varied formations this season after some personnel changes. New OC Dan Pitcher highlighted TE as a position group he likes.

The Bengals grabbed Arizona TE Tanner McLachlan in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. A no-star recruit from Canada, McLachlan started his college career at FCS-level Southern Utah. His four years there included just 15 catches and a 2020 torn ACL. McLachlan missed the entire 2021 season and then transferred to Arizona. He turned in two productive seasons for the Wildcats, posting 34-456-2 and 45-528-4 receiving lines and passing Rob Gronkowski as the school’s all-time leader in receptions by a TE. McLachlan is a 6’5, 244-pounder and earned a solid 7.66 Relative Athletic Score at the Combine, highlighted by a 4.61-second 40 time. He’s a smooth athlete with reliable hands, but his route running needs refinement. That’s a bigger concern considering McLachlan is already 25 years old. He joins fellow rookie TE Erick All in Cincinnati, along with TEs Mike Gesicki, Tanner Hudson, and Drew Sample. It’s a fine landing spot, but McLachlan is well off the redraft radar and isn’t an exciting dynasty target.

The Bengals added Iowa TE Erick All in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. All’s college career was marred by injury. He needed spinal surgery in 2022 and then tore his right ACL this past October. He flashed at two different schools when he was healthy, though. All tallied 38 catches and 437 yards for Michigan in 2021 – both marks ranking second on the team. Then he led Iowa with 299 receiving yards this past year, despite missing the final seven games with that knee injury. In fact, All accounted for a whopping 36.6% of Iowa’s receiving yards in his seven outings. His 2.62 yards per route ranked third among 81 TEs with 30+ targets. Durability is a legitimate concern, but All is an intriguing sleeper in this rookie TE class. Landing with QB Joe Burrow only adds to that sleeper appeal. All joins Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Tanner Hudson in what should be a pretty wide-open TE room this summer. We’ll see who earns snaps.
