Y! MyWebBengals add kicker after Graham strains groin
Sunday, October 12, 2008
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — There's a new kicker in the house.
With Shayne Graham nursing a strained right groin, the Bengals signed Dave Rayner to help with the kicking duties against the New York Jets today, Oct. 12, at the Meadowlands.
To make room on the 53-man roster, the Bengals waived backup fullback Reagan Maui'a.
If Graham is activated, he's expected to kick field goals and extra points. Rayner would handle kickoffs.
A fourth-year veteran from Michigan State, Rayner has 41 games of NFL experience with Indianapolis (2005), Green Bay (2006) and both Kansas City and San Diego in 2007.
He's converted 41-of-58 field-goal attempts (70.7 percent), with a long of 54 yards, and one missed extra point in 46 attempts. He has 15 touchbacks on 41 kickoffs.
