The Cleveland Browns placed veteran kicker Cody Parkey on injured reserve on Monday with an injury to his quad muscle.
The move was announced by head coach Kevin Stefanski during his afternoon media session.
Stefanski is not sure when Parkey suffered the injury, but it was enough to knock him out of Sunday’s preseason game against the New York Giants after converting the extra point following KhaDarel Hodge’s touchdown in the first quarter.
Parkey was coming off a 2020 season where he connected on 19-of-22 field goals in 15 regular-season games and didn’t miss on three postseason field goal attempts.
