Lost among the injury news of Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper, and the return from injury for players like Tyron Smith and La’el Collins, is the sidelining of Cowboys placekicker Greg Zuerlein. Greg the Leg has been absent since the start of training camp and in his place punter Hunter Niswander has handled the placekicking duties.
Cowboys fans were slapped in the face with the reality of Zuelrein’s injury when Niswander was less than perfect in kicking three field goals during the Hall of Fame game. His first one just barely cleared the bar in ugly fashion even though it was a short kick, then he had one blocked and another one sliced so badly that it almost went out of view of the television screen.
