Overview
- The Bengals announced that tight end Erick All Jr. and center Connor Lew have been medically cleared for training camp, a development reported in local and national coverage on Monday.
- All Jr. was cleared for full activity but will begin camp under a structured progression plan to ramp up his workload after an ACL tear that ended his 2024 season.
- Connor Lew will be worked into the heavier portions of camp under a similar progression plan, according to Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin.
- Both clearances are being treated as positive signs for Cincinnati’s offensive depth, but in-camp performance and monitoring will determine actual practice snaps and game readiness.
- ACL rehabilitation typically requires cautious ramp-up and ongoing evaluation, so the immediate effect is an improved outlook for the roster and a watched recovery path for the two players as camp progresses.
