While the Cincinnati Bengals have one of the slimmest margins of error to make the playoffs, the team may have to rely on a beleaguered kicker in the process.
Cincinnati (4–8) signed free agent Cade York as a replacement on Wednesday after kicker Evan McPherson went on injured reserve due to a right groin injury. York hasn’t played in an NFL game since Week 1, when he missed two field goal attempts for the Washington Commanders and was later released.
