Key Cowboys storylines in second preseason game include gunslinger QB

No leader in kicking battle Hajrullahu and Brett Maher will continue to get equal opportunities in camp as neither one has pulled ahead in the race to win the kicking job for the Cowboys, Michael Gehlken of T...

Impact Maher has some experience with Dallas, but it was under a different coaching staff, while Hajrullahu played one game for the Cowboys last season and went 5-for-5 on extra points without getting a field-goal attempt against the Falcons in Week 10. Unless one of them starts to impress, however, this battle may not be decided until after the final preseason contest -- and may even be won by a different kicker entirely, depending on who gets cut by other teams.

Dallas Cowboys' biggest roster weaknesses as they head to camp

Panthers waive K Lirim Hajrullahu On Wednesday, the Panthers waived K Lirim Hajrullahu.

MAY 5, 2022 • USATODAY.COM

Gets cut Wednesday The Panthers waived Hajrullahu on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Hajrullahu spent time with the Cowboys and Panthers last year, appearing in a total of four contests. He closed the season as Carolina's kicker, appearing in its final three games after Zane Gonzalez was sidelined with a quadriceps injury. Hajrullahu connected on four of five field-goal attempts and made all eight of his extra-point tries for Carolina.

MAY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect to close campaign Hajrullahu made his only field-goal attempt as well as both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Hajrullahu converted from 35 yards on his lone field goal and turned in a flawless performance after missing a kick in Week 17. In three games with the Panthers to finish the season, Hajrullahu made four of five field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries, totaling 15 points. The 31-year-old also made all five of his kicks, exclusively PATs, in an appearance for the Cowboys earlier in the campaign. Signed through 2022, Hajrullahu figures to stick with Carolina until training camp, when he could have to compete for the team's starting kicking job.

JANUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses kick Sunday Hajrullahu missed one of his two field-goal attempts but made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Saints.

Impact Hajrullahu converted from 32 yards on Carolina's opening drive, but he sent a 47-yarder wide right to begin the fourth quarter, missing a chance to put the Panthers ahead. Although he made his only other kick, Hajrullahu will strive to eliminate mistakes in Week 18's finale versus the Buccaneers.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect in team debut Hajrullahu made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Hajrullahu was signed last week in the wake of Zane Gonzalez (quadriceps) getting injured. In his first action as a Panther, Hajrullahu did all that was required of him, converting from 24 and 29 yards. Having scored all of Carolina's points Sunday, Hajrullahu will hope for a better offensive performance and thus more opportunities in Week 17 versus the Saints.

Kicking change: Panthers sign Hajrullahu, put Gonzalez on IR

The Carolina Panthers have placed kicker Zane Gonzalez on injured reserve and signed Lirim Hajrullahu off Washington's practice squad to replace him

DECEMBER 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Taking over as Carolina's kicker The Panthers signed Hajrullahu off Washington's practice squad Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact He'll step in as a replacement for Zane Gonzalez, who is expected to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days after straining his quadriceps while warming up prior to Sunday's loss to the Bills. The 31-year-old Hajrullahu made his NFL debut back in Week 10 with Dallas, knocking down all five of his extra-point attempts in the Cowboys' 43-3 win over the Falcons.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on practice squad Hajrullahu signed with Washington's practice squad Saturday.

Impact Hajrullahu has spent the majority of the season on the Cowboys' practice squad, though he served as the team's kicker for one game. He'll now be insurance for Brian Johnson while Joey Slye (hamstring) remains sidelined.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Released from practice squad The Cowboys released Hajrullahu from their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Hajrullahu made his NFL debut in Week 11 while Greg Zuerlein was sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols. The 31-year-old didn't get a field-goal attempt, but he connected on all five of his extra points. Now that Zuerlein has cleared protocols, Hajrullahu's services are no longer needed.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moved back to practice squad Hajrullahu reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Hajrullahu made his NFL debut Sunday in place of Greg Zuerlein (COVID-19) and made all five of his extra point attempts. If Zuerlein were to be inactive for Week 11, Hajrullahu will likely be called upon again.

NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect in NFL debut Hajrullahu didn't get a field-goal attempt but connected on all five of his extra points in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

Impact Making his NFL debut in place of Greg Zuerlein (COVID-19), Hajrullahu looked good despite a lack of opportunities from long range. He also recorded touchbacks on all six of his kickoffs in the blowout win, and while the 31-year-old will probably be let go once Zuerlein clears the league's protocols, Hajrullahu could have put himself on the short list of possible options the next time an NFL club needs a kicker.
