Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, a rising star, found himself in an unusual situation this week. He was called for jury duty, forcing him to miss practice on Wednesday. Aubrey’s commitment to civic duty did not, however, deter his commitment to the gridiron. Coach Mike McCarthy reassured reporters that Aubrey would be ready to take the field on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, a pivotal game for the Cowboys.
“Just when you think you’ve seen it all in this league, you’ve got something else to deal with,” McCarthy remarked.
Aubrey, who has proven to be a valuable asset for the Cowboys, has converted 17 out of 19 field goals this season, including a remarkable 65-yard kick. To ensure Aubrey’s readiness, the Cowboys have devised a plan to prepare him for the crucial game.
The good news is, Aubrey won’t have to choose between jury duty and football on Sunday. Court is not in session on Sundays, and the Cowboys will fly back immediately after their game. As McCarthy pointed out, the charter flight will allow Aubrey to return in time for jury duty.
This unique situation underscores the commitment of athletes to both their sport and their civic duty. Aubrey’s dedication to both serves as an inspiration to fans and the community alike.
