The Dallas Cowboys’ kicking competition is not over, but it has changed with the release of Tristan Vizcaino, coach Mike McCarthy announced on Monday. Brandon Aubrey is the only kicker on the 90-man roster after the release of Vizcaino, but the team could add another soon, or it might wait as teams across the league pare down their kickers. Proven kickers such as Robbie Gould and Mason Crosby remain available, but the Cowboys have yet to express interest in adding a veteran.

In eight padded practices, Vizcaino made 22 of 35 attempts during team drills and was just 4-of-8 in the most recent Dallas practice Saturday, including four straight misses, although one was a result of a poor snap. Aubrey, who played for the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions in the spring, has made 26 of 35 attempts but was 1-of-3 in end-of-game situations Saturday.
