Call it the kicker to the Dallas Cowboys’ dismal season.
Brandon Aubrey is one of the top specialists in the NFL. The kicker has been incredibly accurate in his one-plus seasons with Dallas.
He missed practice on Wednesday. He wasn’t injured. Aubrey was doing his civic duty and was selected to be on a second-degree strangulation case.

Per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
The case is centered around a second-degree strangulation charge against the defendant. While the Cowboys tried to pull him away from the jury duty, Aubrey insisted on fulfilling his duty on Wednesday. It is expected that he will return to court on Thursday and Friday, and also that the judge will work with Aubrey with his football schedule.
Aubrey was not seen during the media portion of practice for the Cowboys on Wednesday and was later confirmed to be out for his civic duty. While juror information is typically not made public, multiple eyewitnesses have seen Aubrey serving on the jury in the downtown Fort Worth courthouse as of Wednesday afternoon. There is not a clear timetable on how long the case could last.
