The Dallas Cowboys will be without the services of All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland early in the season after the veteran cornerback is set to undergo surgery for a stress fracture on his foot, according to multiple reports.
NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero was first on the news, reporting that Bland will miss six-to-eight weeks due to surgery on his foot to fix the stress fracture.
That six-to-eight week window could cause Bland to miss the Week Five matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday Night Football on October 6.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport followed up on Pelissero’s report by reporting that Bland felt discomfort in his foot on Wednesday and underwent imaging later that day, which revealed the stress fracture.
