Mr. Automatic will be out of the Cowboys lineup for a time.
The Cowboys game with the 49ers was full of good news, but there is one issue cropping up that is not so good. The Cowboys star kicker, Dan Bailey, injured himself in the game and will likely miss some time.

Pro Football Talk offers up a recent history of those guys.
[Jason] Myers was recently cut by the Jaguars in favor of Josh Lambo, who lost the Chargers job to [Younghoe] Koo this summer. Koo was discarded in favor of Nick Novak while [Mike] Nugent came up short in a competition at Giants camp this summer. Irwin Hill spent the summer with Dallas as a camp leg alongside Bailey.
