Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson will miss a few weeks due to a groin injury, while kicker Cade York was added to the practice squad, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
McPherson, 25, made his lone field-goal attempt of 38 yards and all five extra-point attempts on Sunday in a 44-38 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is 16 of 22 (72.7 percent) on field-goal attempts this season with a long of 56 yards.
The Bengals selected McPherson in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He is 94 of 115 on field goals (81.7 percent) with a long of 59 yards in 61 career regular-season games. He has made 163 of 170 extra points (95.9 percent).
York, 23, was a fourth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2022 draft. He kicked in 17 games in 2022, making 24 of 32 field-goal attempts (75 percent) and 35 of 37 extra points (94.6 percent).
The Browns released him in August 2023 and he spent time with the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants in 2023 without appearing in a game. The Browns signed York in March and traded him to the Washington Commanders on Aug. 22 for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2025. He missed both field-goal attempts and made two extra points in the season-opening loss at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before his release on Sept. 9.
