DARON BLAND NEWS

Won't play Sunday Bland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Impact The third-year corner from Fresno State was activated from injured reserve Wednesday; however, it appears that his foot issue is still bothering him enough to miss the Cowboys' Week 9 contest. Bland's 2024 debut will have to wait at least one more week, with Andrew Booth and Caelen Carson expected to see increased work in the Cowboys' secondary in Bland's stead.

DNP on Wednesday Bland (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bland began the regular season on injured reserve due to a stress fracture in his left foot that he sustained during training camp. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Oct. 9, but despite not being able to practice, the Cowboys activated the 2022 fifth-round pick from injured reserve Wednesday. Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Wednesday that Bland is working with the rehab group this week, which could mean that he will be sidelined for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Returns to 53-man roster Bland (foot) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Bland's move to the active roster comes as his 21-day window was set to close as he was designated to return from IR on Oct. 9. However, according to Hill, the Fresno State product did not practice and was working with the rehab group, so it's not clear what his status may be for Week 9 against the Falcons.

Inactive against 49ers Bland (foot) is out for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bland was unable to practice this entire week, making his inactive status not much of a surprise as Dallas travels to San Francisco. The 6-foot cornerback is nearing the end of his 21-day evaluation window, meaning the Cowboys will have to decide by Monday whether to move him to the active roster or keep him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

DNP coming out of bye week Bland (foot) was listed as a DNP on the Cowboys' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Bland's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 9, and he started that week out strong with two consecutive full practices. However, he was downgraded to a DNP for the last session of the week and was unable to suit up against the Lions in Week 6. Despite Dallas coming off a Week 7 bye, Bland's DNP to start the week doesn't bode well for his chances of being activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, but he'll have a chance to return to practice Thursday or Friday. Bland has to be activated off IR before Oct. 30, otherwise the All-Pro cornerback would be forced to sit out for the rest of the 2024 campaign.

Won't be activated Week 6 Bland (foot) will not be activated off IR this weekend, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bland has yet to play this season after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot near the end of training camp. He had his practice window opened this past Wednesday and logged a full practice both Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday. The decision not to activate Bland for Week 6 against Detroit may be centered on the Cowboys having a Week 7 bye, which will give the cornerback an extra week to ramp up. There's a good chance he'll be ready to return Week 8 for a matchup with the 49ers.

Questionable for Sunday Bland (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Bland was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and logged two consecutive full practices. However, the All-Pro cornerback downgraded to a DNP on Friday, suggesting that he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Bland still must be activated to Dallas' active roster in order to suit up in Week 6. If he's unable to go, expect Caelen Carson (shoulder) or C.J. Goodwin to line up opposite Trevon Diggs.

Returns without restriction Bland (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Bland was placed on injured reserve at the conclusion of training camp due to a stress fracture in his left foot. Jon Machota of The Athletic reported Tuesday that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn't expect Bland to play in Week 6 against the Lions. However, Bland's full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that the 2022 fifth-round pick could make his regular-season debut Sunday, barring any setbacks. In 2023, Bland led the NFL with nine interceptions, and his five pick-sixes were an NFL single-season record.

Gets go-ahead to practice Dallas opened Bland's (foot) 21-day practice window to return from its injured reserve list Wednesday.

Impact Bland has missed the first five games of the year as he's been recovering from a surgery he underwent before the regular season began, but it looks like he could finally be on his way back to action. If the Cowboys don't activate him within the next 21 days, however, he'd have to spend the rest of the year on their injured reserve list.

Unlikely to return vs. Lions Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that he didn't expect Bland (foot) to play in Week 6, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bland has been on Dallas' injured reserve list since the beginning of the season due to a stress fracture in his left foot, and it seems like he'll probably need to take at least one more game off before he's able to get back onto the field. In the meantime, 2022 second-rounder Andrew Booth could continue to see more work.
