Cowboys won't sign second kicker; team sticking with Dan Bailey

The Cowboys are confident enough in Dan Bailey's health that the club won't sign another kicker as insurance for Sunday's game, a source said.

A sore back prevented Bailey, who is listed as questionable on the final injury report, from kicking the first two days of practice this week. He kicked for the first time on Friday and looked good, according to those who saw him, but the club wanted to see how he responded to that work before making a decision.

Robbie Gould, Kai Forbath and Aldrick Rosas all had tryouts with the Cowboys Friday afternoon once practice was done. One of them would have been signed _ likely Forbath _ to kick against Cincinnati if the Cowboys weren't comfortable with Bailey's health.

But Bailey, who hasn't missed a game since taking over as the Cowboys kicker to open the 2011 season, will be there. He ranks seventh in the NFL in scoring this season with 35 points and is 8-for-10 on his field goal attempts.
