The Cowboys are putting Zuerlein (back) on the PUP list to start training camp, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

While there hasn't been any report of offseason surgery, Zuerlein does have a history of back injuries, including some appearances on the Cowboys' practice reports in the second half of last season. However, the 33-year-old has played 16 games in back-to-back seasons, and he could reclaim his past status as a top-five fantasy kicker if the Cowboys offense picks up where it left off before Dak Prescott (leg) suffered a season-ending injury last year. Zuerlein is the only kicker on the Cowboys' roster, so they'll need to sign someone else for training camp -- or use backup punter Hunter Niswander as a temporary kicker -- if Greg the Leg isn't ready to practice within the next few days.
