GEORGETOWN, Ky. – The Bengals this morning unveiled a backup kicker, Carter Warley.

He was working out with special teams coach Darrin Simmons on the main field during the practice that started at 9 a.m.

Kicker Shayne Graham has a sore right (kicking) groin and might not be able to kick in the preseason opener Friday night against New England.

Warley followed Graham to Virginia Tech, where he was the team’s kicker.

Also of note this morning, wide receiver Peter Warrick was not practicing. He was examined Tuesday night by team physician Dr. Angelo Colosimo. Warrick had hoped to be cleared medically from knee and shin injuries that have disabled him since November, when he was put on the injured reserve list.

Wide receiver Chad Johnson (ankle) also was not participating in practice, though he was on the field in street clothes.
