Nugent has converted nearly 81% of his field goal attempts throughout his entire 12-year career. He most recently kicked for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2016 before being cut in favor of Randy Bullock.

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett told media members on Monday that he expected Bailey to be out at least a couple weeks with a right groin injury.
