Cowboys’ Brandon Aubrey missed Wednesday’s practice because of jury duty

This story has been updated. 

Not even Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey can avoid his civic duties as an American citizen.

The team listed Aubrey as a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice before its Sunday evening game against the San Francisco 49es.

That might have given Dallas fans some pause before they saw the reason for why Aubrey was away from the team. The Cowboys listed Aubrey as having to attend jury duty to explain why he was absent.

According to Forth Worth Star-Telegram reporter Nick Harris, Aubrey “has been selected to be on a 12-person jury for a felony case in Tarrant County’s 297th District Court.”

Harris added the trial in question has no clear timetable for duration.

Hey, it happens to all of us. We’re sure Aubrey will be back with the team soon enough, even if he’s now locked in as one of the jury members.

Good on him for showing up to trial and doing his part.
