The Cowboys’ injury-plagued defense may get some relief this week. All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland, who was injured during the preseason, reportedly has a chance to play when Dallas hosts the Detroit Lions this Sunday.
Bland went on injured reserve in late August due to a stress fracture in his left foot. He had to sit out at least four games and then didn’t join the team for last week’s battle in Pittsburgh. But even with a bye coming following the Detroit game, the Cowboys could get Bland out there sooner rather than later.
The Cowboys are expecting DaRon Bland back this week, even in a limited role.
