Already amid his worst pro season, Bengals kicker Evan McPherson is now dealing with an injury.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, McPherson has a groin issue and is set to miss a few weeks. While McPherson does not need surgery and is not done for the season, he will be sidelined for a bit.
Garafolo also reports the Bengals are adding Cade York to their practice squad to handle kicking duties with McPherson out.
McPherson, who signed a contract extension before the season, has hit just 16-of-22 field goals this season. He has missed four attempts from 50-plus and two from 40-to-49 yards.
York, a Browns fourth-round pick in the 2022 draft, made just 24-of-32 field goals as a rookie. He kicked for Washington in Week 1, missing attempts from 47 and 56 yards wide right.
The Bengals will play the Cowboys on the road on Monday night in Week 14.
