Word to Snoop Dogg. Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey appeared on Wednesday’s injury report with a unique designation. The Pro Bowl kicker who, more often than not, has been the source of the majority of Dallas’ points this season, was not with the team when they broke out of their bye-week huddle.
Instead, he was in a Tarrant County courthouse on Wednesday, reportedly serving as a juror despite the Dallas Cowboys’ best efforts to get him relieved of his civic duty. Per the Ft. Worth Star Telegram, Aubrey is expected to miss the entire week of practice leading up to the team traveling west to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8. His listing on the injury report? Not Injury Related – Jury Duty.
Anyone hoping for a fake field goal where Aubrey passes to a wide open holder should probably look elsewhere for their trick-play magic this weekend. They won’t have the opportunity to work out the kinks in practice sessions.
Aubrey is reportedly sitting on a case dealing with second-degree strangulation. According to the article, the case does not require the jury being sequestered, so nights and weekends are as free as a Cingular Wireless cellular plan from the early 2000s.
Aubrey is the team’s leading scorer in 2024, scoring 46 of the team’s 126 points through six games. He gives the floundering offense a chance to put points on the board as soon as they approach midfield.
