Erick All is officially on injured reserve, a massive blow for the Bengals after their Sunday win against the Ravens. All suffered a knee injury in that game, and the fallout has completely reshaped Cincinnati’s tight end depth chart overnight.

All’s Injury Shifts Everything

This is tough news, man. All had been contributing, picking up three catches for 26 yards in that Ravens game alone. For the season, he had eight catches for 56 yards. Losing him to IR means the Bengals are without one of their key pass-catchers for the foreseeable future. It’s a brutal turn of events right after a big victory, you know?

Grandy Returns, Prieskorn Joins the Practice Squad

To fill the void, the Bengals wasted no time signing Cam Grandy off the Vikings’ practice squad straight onto their 53-man roster. Grandy actually knows the Bengals’ system, having spent the last two seasons with the team. He appeared in 13 games during that time, grabbing seven catches for 35 yards. It’s a familiar face stepping into a critical role.

But the tight end shuffling didn’t stop there. They also placed tight end Josh Kattus on the practice squad injured list, and in another move to bolster depth, signed Caden Prieskorn to their practice squad. It’s clear they’re not messing around, trying to make sure they have bodies ready to go after losing All and Kattus in such a short span.

So, the Bengals’ tight end room looks totally different heading into their next matchup. Grandy’s got experience with the team, but filling All’s shoes is gonna be a challenge. We’ll see how these new pieces fit in, but it’s a lot of change for a position that just took a huge hit.
