It's been quite the week for Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl kicker Brandon Aubrey.

Aubrey did not practice all week and popped up on the injury report on Wednesday, surprising Cowboys Nation. Aubrey was listed as "NIR" or "non-injury related," and the reason made everyone chuckle.

The team's most consistent offensive weapon was selected to participate on a 12-person jury in a felony case. So, he was sidelined because of jury duty.

There were some questions about whether Aubrey would be able to play on Sunday night, but there was optimism from the coaching staff that the jury duty wouldn't impact his availability since jurors were not required to be sequestered.

Aubrey was getting in work at night after his duties were fulfilled, and on Saturday there was good news.

When the team boarded its charter flight to the West Coast, Aubrey pulled up and was ready to fly out with his teammates.
