Brian

Moorman

We’ll have an update tomorrow. He is also Buffalo’s placeholder.

Moorman was recently signed after the Bills unceremoniously released him. He had a strong first game for the Cowboys Week 4 loss to the Bears with two-of-three punts downed within the 20 yard line. Chris Jones (knee) is also listed as questionable, so the Dallas special teams could be in for a long day this weekend against the Ravens.

The Bills released Moorman yesterday due to a drop in production, as his net yardage this season has dipped nearly six yards from his 2011 average of 38.3. Regular Cowboys P Chris Jones is dealing with a knee injury.

Jones had missed two of the last three games due to a partially torn ACL in his left knee. The Cowboys will move forward with veteran Brian Moorman as their punter and holder.

Moorman was longest tenured member of the Bills. But through three games, his 32.7 net punting average ranked 30th in the NFL. Shawn Powell, an undrafted rookie out of Florida State, is expected to be re-signed as Moorman’s replacement.

Moorman, 37, kicked in 15 games for the Bills and Cowboys last season, but he finished No. 27 in the league with his 37.6 net average. The Steelers’ incumbent punter, Drew Butler, finished 25th at 37.8.

A 37-year-old veteran, Moorman will push Drew Butler in camp. Both players are coming off sub-par 2012 campaigns. The 23-year-old Butler will likely be the Steelers’ choice if he shows well in the preseason.

37-year-old Moorman will replace Shawn Powell at punter.

Moorman, a 37-year-old veteran, loses out to second-year man Drew Butler. He’ll be at the top of the free agent punter Zoltan Mesko.
