Zuerlein wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 10 roster moves and won't be available Sunday against the Falcons.

Zuerlein's absence for Week 10 was expected after head coach Mike McCarthy essentially confirmed Wednesday that the kicker's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list was the result of a positive test, per Jori Epstein of USA Today. Lirim Hajrullahu has been called up from the practice squad as Zuerlein's replacement, setting the rookie kicker up to make his first ever NFL appearance. Zuerlein should have a good chance at clearing all COVID-19-related protocols ahead of the Cowboys' next game Nov. 21 in Kansas City.
