Bengals kicker Evan McPherson is expected to miss a few weeks due to a groin injury. While the injury is not season-ending and does not require surgery, McPherson will be sidelined for some time. The Bengals have begun evaluating veteran kickers as potential replacements.

Cincinnati's offense was clicking on Thursday night, so McPherson wasn't given any opportunities outside of extra points. He ended the game with four points on the night, which isn't very helpful for fantasy managers. He should have better games coming up within the next few weeks.
