All (knee) is a candidate to miss the entire 2025 campaign due to the right ACL tear he sustained in early November, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports. The tight end previously tore the ACL in college during the 2023 season at Iowa, creating complications with the latest injury that will require two surgeries to correct. The first procedure has already been performed, and the second is set to happen in the coming months, at which point a normal recovery process can begin. All managed to impress in his nine appearances (six starts) as a rookie, securing 20 of 22 targets for 158 yards. He isn't expected to have any further issues with his right knee following the surgeries.

All (knee) is a candidate to miss the entire 2025 campaign due to the right ACL tear he sustained in early November, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports. The tight end previously tore the ACL in college during the 2023 season at Iowa, creating complications with the latest injury that will require two surgeries to correct. The first procedure has already been performed, and the second is set to happen in the coming months, at which point a normal recovery process can begin. All managed to impress in his nine appearances (six starts) as a rookie, securing 20 of 22 targets for 158 yards. He isn't expected to have any further issues with his right knee following the surgeries.
The Bengals placed All (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. All will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the ACL in his right knee for the second time in just over a year in this past Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. The rookie tight end suited up in each of the Bengals' first nine games, turning in a 20-158-0 receiving line on 22 targets. Given the early November timing of his upcoming surgery in addition to the fact that it's his second operation on the knee, All may not be back to 100 percent by the start of the 2025 season.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said All suffered an ACL tear in his right knee in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. The setback is a devastating one for All, who has now torn the ACL in his right knee for the second time in just over a year after he previously sustained the injury Oct. 14, 2023 during his final collegiate season at Iowa. Despite not being cleared for full practices with the Bengals until mid-August after being drafted in the fourth round in April, All had gotten off to a strong start to his rookie season, recording 20 receptions for 158 yards and no touchdowns on 22 targets through Cincinnati's first nine games. All's absence for the remainder of the season could open up extra reps for the four healthy tight ends on Cincinnati's 53-man roster (Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson and Tanner McLachlan).
Head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged after Sunday's win over the Raiders that he's concerned about the knee injury All sustained in the contest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Before hurting his knee Sunday, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. If the 2024 fourth-rounder ends up missing time, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson would be candidates to see added TE snaps alongside Mike Gesicki.
All exited Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right knee injury. Prior to that, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. While he's sidelined, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson will handle the Bengals' tight-end duties versus Las Vegas.
All caught two passes for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Eagles. He played 24 snaps, and those were his only two targets. All was out-snapped Mike Gesicki (31), who was also more active in the passing game. All's blocking advantage over Gesicki was negated by the game script in the second half, once the Bengals fell behind in the third quarter.
All didn't have a catch in Sunday's win over the Browns, getting targeted once on 28 snaps. Playing time wasn't a problem for All, but game flow was. The Bengals played with a lead from the opening kickoff, and once they got out to a 21-6 lead, they barely attempted to throw the ball. All has played more snaps than Mike Gesicki in four straight games, and the rookie tight end appears to be tightening his grip on the top job for Cincy.
All caught two of this three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants. All ranked second in tight end snaps (23) Sunday, behind Drew Sample (26) and ahead of both Mike Gesicki (19) and Tanner Hudson (4). With that said, All was the only tight end to be targeted in the passing game. The rookie has stepped into the No. 1 role as the Bengals' top pass catching option at tight end, but with wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins seeing most of the targets, All will likely continue to see limited volume. All will look to take a step forward in Week 7 when the Bengals visit the Browns.
All caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Ravens. All led all Cincinnati tight ends in playing time Sunday, as he was on the field for 52 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. As the rookie tight end continues to develop, it's possible he can overtake Mike Gesicki as the unquestioned No. 1 option at tight end, but for now they both appear to be splitting duties closely as pass catching options. Nonetheless, All will look to continue his emergence in the offense as the Bengals visit the Giants in Week 6.
