Limited to 12 games in 2024 McPherson (groin) converted 16 of 22 field-goal attempts across 12 regular-season appearances with the Bengals in 2024. He also went 37-for-38 on PATs.

Impact McPherson ended his campaign with a career-low 73 percent conversion rate on field goals before landing on IR with a groin injury early December, with all four of his misses coming from 50-plus yards out. He inked a three-year, $16.5 million extension with Cincinnati last August, meaning McPherson remains under contract through the 2027 campaign.

Misses two kicks Sunday night McPherson made two of his four field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-27 loss against the Chargers.

Impact McPherson has not missed a field goal shorter than 40 yards this season, but he's been far less consistent on longer kicks, and the story was no different in Week 11. It was especially costly Sunday, as both the 48-yarder he missed in the middle of the fourth quarter and the 51-yarder he missed with less than two minutes remaining would have given the Bengals the lead. He'll be looking to bounce back after Cincinnati's bye in Week 12.
