Cowboys' Tristan Vizcaino: Signs with Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys signed Tristan Vizcaino on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Vizcaino joined the Cowboys' practice squad in mid-January after Brett Maher missed four extra-point attempts during Dallas' wild-card win over Tampa Bay. However, Maher remained the Cowboys' kicker for the divisional-round loss to Philadelphia, and Vizcaino's practice-squad deal expired after Dallas didn't offer him a futures contract at the end of January. Even so, Vizcaino will return to the organization about a month later and may have a chance at claiming the kicking job in 2023, given that Maher is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Tristan Vizcaino: Deal with Dallas runs out
Tristan Vizcaino's practice squad contract with the Cowboys expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.Vizcaino's short tenure with Dallas will come to an end less than two weeks after signing with the team's practice squad Jan. 18. The 26-year-old was brought in by the Cowboys after the team's starting kicker Brett Maher went 1-for-5 on extra-point attempts in the wild-card win over Tampa Bay. However, Vizcaino was not elevated for the subsequent loss to San Francisco in the divisional round, so he never wound up appearing in a game for Dallas.

Tristan Vizcaino: Joins Dallas' practice squad
The Cowboys plan to sign Tristan Vizcaino to their practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Vizcaino spent the majority of the campaign on New England's practice squad, but he wasn't signed to a reserve/future contract, allowing the Cowboys to add him during their playoff run. Brett Maher missed his first four extra-point attempts before connecting on his final try of the night during Dallas' wild-card win over Tampa Bay, which was really the lone negative for the Cowboys during a blowout win. Head coach Mike McCarthy and special teams coordinator John Fassel both said after the contest that Maher will retain placekicking duties for Sunday's divisional-round matchup in San Francisco, but the signing of Vizcaino will give Dallas some insurance moving forward.

Tristan Vizcaino: Back to practice squad
Tristan Vizcaino reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.Vizcaino was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 13 and handled two of the Patriots' three kickoffs, with Nick Folk handling the lone onside try and all of the place-kicking responsibilities. Folk wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with Buffalo, but he did leave a 46-yard attempt short to end the first half, which suggests he may be limited by some underlying issue. If that's the case, Vizcaino would be a candidate for elevation again in Week 14.
