Cincinnati has signed Cade York to the practice squad as Evan McPherson will miss time with a groin injury

Evan McPherson, the Bengals' kicker, is expected to miss several weeks due to a groin injury, which puts additional pressure on an already struggling team. After a promising start in the mid-season, the team has faltered, losing multiple games consecutively, thereby reducing their chances of making the playoffs. The Bengals' offense, spearheaded by Joe Burrow, is performing well, but the defense has not been able to keep pace. With McPherson's injury and the recent losses, the team faces further challenges ahead.

Despite leading the NFL in passing categories, Joe Burrow and the Bengals find themselves at 4-8, with a startling drop in form after a brief recovery period. The struggles stem not just from inconsistent defensive performances but also from crucial injuries that are affecting game outcomes. This current outlook demonstrates that even elite players like Burrow can't succeed alone without reliable support from all facets of the team, including special teams, which are now relying on Cade York.
