Nugent was officially released by the Cowboys on Monday, according to ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

With Dan Bailey (groin) healthy again, there's no place for Nugent on the Cowboys' roster. The 35-year-old will finish his four-game tenure in Dallas having made seven of nine field-goal attempts and all eight of his PATs.

The Cowboys are slated to release Nugent in the near future, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Dan Bailey didn't attempt an extra point or field goal in his return Thursday, the Cowboys are confident he's past the groin injury that forced four DNPs in a row. As a result, the team doesn't have a need for a second kicker and will cut Nugent loose.

Nugent (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Chargers, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nugent is yielding kicking duties to Dan Bailey, who has overcome a groin injury to end a four-game stretch of DNPs. Assuming Bailey doesn't falter or suffer another ailment, Nugent is a candidate to be released in the coming days.

With Dan Bailey (groin), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chargers, anticipating playing in the contest, Nugent may not handle placekicking duties for the Cowboys in Week 12, Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Bailey's imminent return, it appears the Cowboys will keep Nugent on the roster this week, and it sounds like both kickers could be active Thursday. Bailey, who has missed the last four games while battling a groin strain, said he's experiencing slightly more stress on kickoffs than field goals, so Nugent could be called upon to handle the former duties if he ends up dressing for the Thanksgiving Day contest. However, if his point-scoring opportunities come to an end, Nugent would lose all of his fantasy value.

Nugent converted all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Nugent accounted for the entirety of Dallas' points, bringing his tally to 29 points in four appearances while Dan Bailey (groin) has been sidelined. With Bailey returning as a limited practice participant Monday, Nugent's fantasy stock for Thursday's game versus the Chargers will depend on whether the Cowboys' usual kicker is able to be cleared in time for kickoff.

Nugent missed his lone field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point try en route to one point in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Nugent hit the right upright with a 38-yard attempt during the third quarter. With the Cowboys offense unable to move the ball much, he was provided just one other scoring opportunity. His fantasy stock in Week 11 will depend on whether Dan Bailey (groin) can return from injury.

Nugent did not attempt a field goal but did make all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-17 win over the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Nugent did all that was required of him Sunday, but his performance was a far cry from his 15 points during his Cowboys debut. Considering Nugent is a stand-in for Dan Bailey (groin), however, he should be happy with his production thus far.

Nugent connected on four of five field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points in Sunday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Given the rainy and miserable conditions that prevailed throughout the game, it was a very solid Cowboys debut for the veteran kicker. Nugent should hold onto the job for at least the next few weeks while Dan Bailey recovers from a groin strain, but his opportunities could begin to dwindle if the Dallas offense struggles without Ezekiel Elliott, who will begin serving his six-game suspension in Week 9.

The Cowboys signed Nugent to a contract Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old Nugent emerged as the victor from the workout the Cowboys staged earlier in the day for the right to replace injured kicker Dan Bailey (groin). The Cowboys aren't expected to move Bailey to injured reserve, so Nugent may only stick around with Dallas for a few games while the team waits for Bailey to heal up. Nugent appeared in 13 games with the Bengals last season, converting 23 of 29 field-goal attempts and 23 of 29 extra-point tries.

Nugent was released by the Giants on Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

This kicking battle turned out to be much fiercer than most expected, as both Nugent and 22-year-old Aldrick Rosas were perfect throughout the preseason and each displayed plenty of strength on kickoffs. Nugent, in particular, was five of five in exhibition play -- including two from beyond 50 yards against the Jets -- so he clearly still has it entering his 13th season in the league. However, the Giants went with Rosas, who went eight of eight this summer and could be their kicker of the future.
