Dal: K David Buehler, rising:

K David Buehler, rising: The Cowboys drafted Buehler to take over kickoffs for field-goal kicker Nick Folk. Buehler is booming kickoffs so far in training camp; however, the Cowboys also hope to use the all-around athlete on punt coverage. At least that’s the hope. Buehler gets his first game audition Thursday when the Cowboys open the preseason at Oakland. "The first thing is to see how well he does in a game situation in his kicking and then go from there," coach Wade Phillips said.
