DaRon Bland: Vital Return for the Cowboys' Defense
DaRon Bland's Recovery Journey
FRISCO, Texas — Help is on the way for the Dallas Cowboys’ defense, and it’s one of their most dangerous defensive weapons. DaRon Bland, the record-setting defensive back who owns the NFL mark for most pick-sixes in a single season, is nearing his return to the field.
Impact of His Return
The third-year cornerback suffered a fracture in his foot just ahead of the season and underwent surgery to repair the issue, leading to a stint on injured reserve. With the primetime battle against the New York Giants approaching, the Cowboys are optimistic about opening his 21-day practice window thereafter.
- Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated, “We always felt like the Pittsburgh game is the point where we’d have more information.”
- The defense has struggled during a two-game losing streak.
- Rookie cornerback Caelen Carson’s injury further complicates the situation for the Cowboys.
If the Cowboys open Bland’s practice window, they’ll have 21 days to activate him. This is crucial as the team faces tough matchups ahead.
