Vizcaino was waived by the Cowboys on Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vizcaino struggled with his accuracy early in training camp, making just 22 of 35 kicks across Dallas' first eight practices. The only kicker remaining on the Cowboys' roster following Vizcaino's departure is Brandon Aubrey, who has made 26 of 35 attempts thus far.

The Cowboys signed Vizcaino on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
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 starter 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. Nonetheless, Vizcaino will return to the organization about a month later and may have a chance at the starting job in 2023, given Maher is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Vizcaino's practice squad contract with the Cowboys expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
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. Vizcaino now will look to land a deal elsewhere heading into the 2023 campaign.

The Cowboys plan to sign Vizcaino to their practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Vizcaino reverted back to New England's practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The kicker played just four special teams snaps handling all four kickoffs in Sunday's loss. He's played in three games with the Patriots this season, two of which have been strictly as a kickoff specialist.

The Patriots are elevating Vizcaino from their practice squad ahead of Saturday's game against the Bengals, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vizcaino offers the Patriots another option to handle kickoffs in Week 16, thus potentially easing the load on veteran placekicker Nick Folk, who has made 30-of-35 field-goal attempts for the team through 14 games to date.

Vizcaino reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Patriots have elevated Vizcaino from the team's practice squad ahead of Thursday night's game against the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Reiss, Vizcaino offers another option to handle kickoffs Thursday, thus potentially easing the load on veteran placekicker Nick Folk, who was not on the Patriots' Week 13 injury report.

Vizcaino was signed to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 5-for-5 on kick opportunities while filling at kicker for the Cardinals in Week 10, Vizcaino will return to New England's practice unit. The 26-year-old will once again serve as an emergency depth option behind Nick Folk.

Arizona waived Vizcaino on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he was signed to the 53-man roster last week, Vizcaino stepped in for Matt Prater (illness/hip) during Sunday's game against the Rams to handle kicking duties for the Cardinals. Vizcaino did his part by converting all five of his kicks, but the Cardinals' decision to cut him signals that Prater is expected to be ready to go for the team's Week 11 matchup with the 49ers on Monday night. Arizona replaced Vizcaino on the roster with guard Rashaad Coward.
