Bengals Place Erick All Jr. on IR With Believed Torn ACL, Bring Back Cam Grandy
Cincinnati's physical tight end hurt the same right knee again in the comeback win at Baltimore, thinning a position group that already lost Tanner Hudson for the year
The Bengals placed tight end Erick All Jr. on injured reserve Tuesday, and the injury is believed to be a torn ACL, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
All got hurt making a catch in the third quarter of Sunday's 35-13 win in Baltimore, limped to the medical tent and was ruled out with a right knee injury. It's the same knee that has already cost him significant time; All Jr. missed a season and a half the last time he damaged it. He's in the third year of his rookie contract.

The timing stings because All had been earning more snaps and was part of the second-half surge, when Cincinnati scored on its first five possessions to erase a 13-0 halftime deficit and improve to 4-2.
It also leaves the tight end room thin. Tanner Hudson is already out for the season with a torn pectoral, so Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample, who both caught touchdowns Sunday, carry the load with rookie Jack Endries behind them. To fill All's roster spot, the Bengals signed Cam Grandy off the Vikings' practice squad. Grandy spent 2024 and 2025 in Cincinnati before being waived during this year's training camp.
The Bengals host the Titans on Sunday.
