Cowboys activate WR Gallup, DT Hill; K Hajrullahu filling in
The Dallas Cowboys have activated receiver Michael Gallup and defensive tackle Trysten Hill after lengthy absencesNOVEMBER 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Officially out Week 10 Zuerlein wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 10 roster moves and won't be available Sunday against the Falcons.
Impact Zuerlein's absence for Week 10 was expected after head coach Mike McCarthy essentially confirmed Wednesday that the kicker's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list was the result of a positive test, per Jori Epstein of USA Today. Lirim Hajrullahu has been called up from the practice squad as Zuerlein's replacement, setting the rookie kicker up to make his first ever NFL appearance. Zuerlein should have a good chance at clearing all COVID-19-related protocols ahead of the Cowboys' next game Nov. 21 in Kansas City.

Cowboys put K Zuerlein on COVID-19 list; 1st since September
The Dallas Cowboys have placed kicker Greg Zuerlein on the COVID-19 reserve listNOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Goes on COVID-19 list The Cowboys placed Zuerlein on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.
Impact The report doesn't disclose whether Zuerlein's placement on the list is a result of a positive test of the virus or due to exposure to an infected person, but at least for the time being, the Cowboys will have to plan for the kicker not being available for Sunday's game against the Falcons. According to The Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys are set to hold workouts for multiple kickers Wednesday with the hope of settling on one as a potential replacement for Zuerlein, who has converted on 14 of 18 field-goal attempts and 21 of 23 extra-point tries this season.

Shut out in Sunday's loss Zuerlein failed to get a field goal or PAT opportunity in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Impact Nothing better reflected the Cowboys' awful performance on offense than the fact their kicker got blanked -- by the time Dallas scored its first TD of the game inside the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, Denver had a 30-0 lead and the Cowboys went for two-pointers. Zuerlein had attempted multiple FGs and PATs in each of the prior three contests, so look for him to rebound in Week 10 against the Falcons.
NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Eight points in win Zuerlein connected on two of three field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Vikings.
Impact He misfired on a 43-yard FG attempt on the Cowboys' first possession of the night, but Zuerlein was perfect after that in a 20-16 victory. The veteran kicker has booted multiple field goals in three straight games and five of seven to begin the season, giving him a strong fantasy floor, and his ceiling is elite with Dak Prescott (calf) expected to rejoin the lineup for a Week 9 clash with the Broncos.

Secondary issues on display in Patriots' OT loss to Cowboys

Productive again Sunday Zuerlein connected on three of four field goals and both his PATs in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.
Impact The veteran kicker hooked a 51-yard field-goal attempt wide left inside the final three minutes of the game that would have given the Cowboys a 23-21 lead, but Zuerlein's miss was quickly forgotten when Trevon Diggs took an INT to the house on the ensuing possession for the Pats, setting up a wild finish to an eventual 35-29 victory. Heading into a Week 7 bye and with Buffalo's Tyler Bass still to play Monday night, Zuerlein sits second in the NFL in scoring with 55 points on 12 made FGs and 19 PATs.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • NFL.COM
Huge day in rout Zuerlein connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all five of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Impact His longest FG came from only 38 yards out, but the veteran kicker still had his most productive game of the year so far in a 44-20 victory. Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in three of five games so far in 2021 and multiple extra points in all five, and he should continue seeing plenty of opportunities alongside the high-flying Cowboys offense heading into a Week 6 clash with the Patriots.
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't miss in Sunday's win Zuerlein connected on his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra points in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
Impact He calmly drilled a 37-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for the Cowboys' final points of the afternoon, but Zuerlein wasn't asked to do too much before that. Despite the fact Dallas is averaging 31.5 points a game, fourth in the league, most of that production has come in the end zone -- Zuerlein has only six FGs (on eight attempts) through four weeks compared to a 12-for-14 showing on PATs. Those with fantasy shares in the kicker will hope for just a little less efficiency from Dak Prescott and company in Week 5 against the Giants.

'Best I've ever played:' Prescott has Cowboys rolling early
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott says he's playing “the best I've ever played.”SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Misses PAT in rout Zuerlein didn't get a field-goal attempt and connected on five of six extra points in Monday's 41-21 win over the Eagles.
Impact The veteran kicker missed his PAT midway through the second quarter, but the Cowboys were already ahead 20-7 at that point. Zuerlein has missed four kicks in total through three games -- two extra points and two field goals -- but the volume provided him by the Dallas offense gives him a solid weekly floor heading into a Week 4 clash with the Panthers.
