Niswander will handle the kicking duties to begin training camp while Greg Zuerlein recovers from offseason back surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zuerlein has been placed on the preseason PUP list while he rehabs from his procedure, but he'll likely be ready for Week 1 since the Cowboys don't have another kicker on the roster in training camp. In addition to filling in for Zuerlein, Niswander should compete with Bryan Anger for the Week 1 starting job at punter.
