The Cincinnati Bengals’ efforts to scrape and claw their way back into relevance took some hits this week following their victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. On the brink of .500, they have reportedly lost two significant offensive contributors for the foreseeable future.
That includes TE Erick All Jr., a rookie fourth-round pick, who was quickly becoming a staple of their offense. A key blocker in the Bengals’ system, he also recorded 20 receptions. Bengals HC Zay Taylor confirmed yesterday that the rookie tore his ACL during Sunday’s game. “It hurts”, he said, adding that people recognize the role he played in their offense.
