Try curled causing injury (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stab wound

'injury' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'try curled' is the wordplay.
'try' becomes 'stab' (I've seen this before).
'curled' becomes 'wound' (past tense of 'wind').
'stab'+'wound'='STAB WOUND'

'causing' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
