The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in kickers for tryouts after Cody Parkey aggravated a preseason groin injury, according to reports Monday.

Parkey’s groin injury caused him to miss some games in the preseason.

Parkey is 3-for-4 on his field-goal attempts this season and made his only attempt from 30 yards in Sunday’s 24-17 win over the New York Jets. Last season, he made 32 of 36 of his field goals and all 54 extra points.

Parkey, 23, has struggled getting distance on his kickoffs, with all four of his kickoffs being returned by the Jets.
