Former Iowa State kicker Andrew Mevis was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars Friday after missing three field goal attempts, one of which hit former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo.
The blunder happened Thursday after several days of struggles, according to an ESPN report.
Mevis, signed by the Jaguars after going undrafted, hit Campo with one of his attempts while the former head coach was talking to a team official.

ESPN’s Michael DiRocco tweeted a picture of Campo on Friday, joking that he was "alive and well" after getting hit in the shoulder.
The Jaguars later announced the team had waived Mevis and signed Elliott Fry, who has appeared in three NFL games for the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears.
