Cowboys Kicker Missed Practice for Jury Duty

The NFL team said Brandon Aubrey‘s status for practice on Thursday and Friday was also ‘unclear.’

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey missed practice on Wednesday in order to attend jury duty, the NFL team confirmed. The Cowboys announced he missed practice to attend jury duty in a news release on Wednesday afternoon. Aubrey was selected for a 12-person jury in Tarrant County, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. The case he was selected for was for charges of felony assault. According to the same report, the team tried to get him out of the obligation, but the kicker insisted on attending anyway. Aubrey has had a remarkable season this year, with the team calling him their “most consistent player.” In September, he kicked a 65-yard field goal—coming only one yard short of breaking the record for longest field goal set by Justin Tucker in 2021. The team said his status for practice on Thursday and Friday was “unclear.” The Cowboys are scheduled to play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
