The Cincinnati Bengals face a significant setback as kicker Evan McPherson has been placed on Injured Reserve due to a groin injury sustained during the previous week’s game. McPherson, a standout kicker for the Bengals, will be sidelined for at least four weeks as he recovers. In a move to fill the gap, the team has elevated rookie kicker Cade York from the practice squad to the active roster. York was previously selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft and made a name for himself during his time at the University of Florida, where he hit remarkable game-winning field goals. The Bengals coach, Zac Taylor, expressed confidence in York’s abilities, stating, “We’ve seen a lot from Cade in practice. He has the leg strength and accuracy we need in this critical moment.” Fans are eagerly awaiting how York will perform in the coming weeks, especially with the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, which has garnered added attention due to a unique connection with Dallas cheerleader and former cheerleader for the Bengals, Sarah Johnson, who is notably supporting York.
