Aubrey converted both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, including a 66-yard FG just before halftime. Had it been the regular season, that kick from the Cowboys' side of midfield would have tied for the longest field goal in NFL history, matching the record set by Justin Tucker in 2021. Aubrey established himself as one of the best placekickers in the league as a rookie in 2023, and the 29-year-old shows no signs of becoming a one-year wonder.

Aubrey converted both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, including a 66-yard FG just before halftime. Had it been the regular season, that kick from the Cowboys' side of midfield would have tied for the longest field goal in NFL history, matching the record set by Justin Tucker in 2021. Aubrey established himself as one of the best placekickers in the league as a rookie in 2023, and the 29-year-old shows no signs of becoming a one-year wonder.
Aubrey (personal) rejoined the Cowboys on Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The kicker was away from training camp this week due to the birth of his first child, but he's now ready to resume preparing for the regular season. Aubrey led the NFL with 157 points as a rookie last season and figures to challenge for that crown again in 2024.
Aubrey has yet to rejoin the Cowboys at training camp following the birth of his first child, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. The kicker played in Sunday's preseason game against the Rams, converting four of five field-goal attempts with his only miss coming from 65 yards out, but he immediately jumped on a plane afterward to be with his wife. Aubrey is coming off a record-setting rookie season in which he led the NFL in made field goals with 36 and points with 157, and he should again be one of the most productive kicking options in the league in 2024 with a Dak Prescott-led offense at his back.
The rookie kicker has missed PATs in back-to-back games and has shanked three in total on 36 attempts through 11 games, but Aubrey remains perfect on FGs, extending his NFL record to begin a career to 22 straight makes. With the Cowboys' offense firing on all cylinders, however, he's seen fewer field goals in recent weeks, limiting his fantasy ceiling heading into Week 13's meeting with a Seattle team that's given up 22.6 points a game, 22nd in the league.
The missed PAT was his first unsuccessful kick of any kind since Week 1, but Aubrey remains a perfect 21-for-21 on FG attempts, extending his career-opening NFL record. The rookie placekicker figures to be busy on Thanksgiving in an NFC East divisional battle with a Commanders team that just gave up 31 points to the woeful Giants.
While he didn't see a lot of volume, Aubrey's 51-yard kick straight down the middle of the uprights late in the second quarter not only gave Dallas a 17-14 lead, it set a new NFL record -- the rookie kicker has begun his career with 19 straight successful field goals, breaking the old mark of 18 set by Travis Coons in 2015. Aubrey's also missed only one of his PAT attempts this season, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 10 against the Giants.
