Erick All has been back at practice during OTAs. He has been coming off two surgeries since tearing his ACL during his rookie season. After those surgeries, and a year and a half away from football, All is happy to be back out on the field with his teammates.
“I just love football” was what All told media members on Tuesday.
While the Bengals are still not going to rush him back from injury, Coach Taylor praised his physicality, saying, “The word physical in the dictionary is a picture of Erick All
trying to put his face through somebody’s soul, that’s the best way I can describe him.”
All has to show he can stay healthy with an extensive injury history that includes a back surgery, and now three surgeries total on his knee. When healthy as a rookie, he showed an all-around skill set that allowed the Bengals to be effective in 12- and 13-personnel at times that season.
For someone who has faced so much adversity, it is nice to see him back on the football field.
