Cowboys Sign Kicker Tristan Vizcaino As Insurance

Jan 19, 2023 8:44 AM

The Dallas Cowboys plan to stick with Brett Maher against the San Francisco 49ers this weekend, but they've signed Tristan Vizcaino to the practice squad as kicking insurance.

Maher missed four extra points in Monday's playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After the game, Jerry Jones said Maher would continue as the kicker, and on Tuesday, Mike McCarthy and special teams coordinator John Fassel backed him as well.

Vizcaino spent part of the 2020 offseason with the club.
