Misses crucial FG in loss Zuerlein missed his only field goal attempts and converted both his extra points in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact He hooked a 43-yard attempt wide to the left midway through the first quarter, a miss that wound up being the margin of victory for Arizona after Dak Prescott led a fourth-quarter rally for Dallas. Zuerlein has missed 11 kicks in total this year, six field goals and five extra points, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team moved on from the veteran in the offseason.

Makes eight PATs in win Zuerlein didn't get a field-goal attempt and connected on all eight of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.

Impact With the Dallas offense finding itself again in Week 16, Zuerlein did not get an opportunity to attempt any field goals in the contest. The veteran kicker was perfect on his extra-point attempts, scoring eight of the team's 56 points in the blowout win. Zuerlein will look to improve upon his performance in what could be a high-scoring matchup with the Cardinals in Week 17.

Rough day Sunday Zuerlein connected on all three of his field-goal attempts but missed both his extra points in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Impact The missed PATs didn't matter in a 21-6 victory, but it continued a pattern of erratic performances for Zuerlein that has left him with an 83.9 percent (26-for-31) success rate on extra points this season and an 84.8 percent mark (28-for-33) on field goals. While the veteran kicker has one more year left on his current contract, don't be surprised if Dallas looks for a replacement in the offseason.

Automatic again Sunday Zuerlein connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and his only extra point in Sunday's win over Washington.

Impact The veteran kicker has been perfect the last two weeks after missing a FG and a PAT in a loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving. Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in four straight games and seven of his last eight, giving him a strong fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Giants.

Perfect in Thursday's win Zuerlein connected on both his field goals and all three of his PATs in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.

Impact Both FGs came in the second quarter, from 55 and 34 yards out, to give the Cowboys a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in three straight games and six of his last seven, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 14 clash with Washington.

Misses two kicks Zuerlein missed one of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Week 12's 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Impact Zuerlein went wide left on his first PAT, then hit the left upright with a 59-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter. Although he subsequently converted field goals from 29 and 45 yards in the second half, his extra-point miscue ultimately contributed toward the game going to overtime. The veteran will aim to eliminate any similar mistakes in Week 13 versus the Saints.

Activated off COVID-19 list The Cowboys activated Zuerlein from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Impact Zuerlein missed last week's win over the Falcons following a positive test for the virus, but the veteran kicker has since cleared all health and safety protocols and is back in the fold ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas City. Lirim Hajrullahu was summoned to serve as Dallas' placekicker in last week's win over the Falcons, but he's since reverted to the team's practice squad.

Expected back Thursday Zuerlein (undisclosed) is expected to be activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Jori Epstein of USA Today reports.

Impact Zuerlein will be eligible to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Chiefs if he indeed returns to the active roster Thursday, but for now his status still needs to be monitored. The Cowboys would likely once again call Lirim Hajrullahu up from the practice squad in the event that Zuerlein needs more time.
