DaRon Bland - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes game-clinching turnover Bland registered eight tackles (seven solo), one pass defense, and recovered a fumble that he forced in Sunday's 26-24 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Bland made the play of the game late in the fourth quarter, when he ripped the ball out of Rachaad White's hands with 1:40 left in the fourth quarter, which allowed the Cowboys to kneel out the clock and secure the victory. Bland has played every single defensive snap over the Cowboys' last three games, and in the five games since being activated off IR due to a foot injury, he has registered 28 tackles (18 solo), four pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Impact Bland was limited during the Cowboys' two walkthroughs earlier this week, but he was able to participate in Wednesday's practice without restriction and is good to play Thursday. After missing the Cowboys' first 10 games of the regular season due to a foot injury he suffered in training camp, Bland returned for Week 12 against the Commanders this past Sunday and finished with six tackles (three solo) while playing 55 snaps on defense.

Making 2024 debut in Week 12 Bland (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Bland practiced in full all week and is now in line to make his 2024 debut Sunday after missing Dallas' first 10 games this season due to a foot injury sustained in late August. The third-year corner from Fresno State earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2023, recording 69 total tackles and 15 passes defended, including nine interceptions (and five pick-sixes) across 17 regular-season games. If Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) is able to suit up in Week 12, the Cowboys will have their top outside cornerback duo for the first time this season.

Could return for Week 12 Bland (foot) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Up until Wednesday, Bland had not been able to participate in practice since his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 30. Granted, Wednesday's session was a walkthrough as the Cowboys played Monday night, but if Bland is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, he would be in a good spot to make his 2024 regular-season debut against the Commanders on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 11 Bland (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Houston, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Despite having his 21-day window to return from injured reserve open Oct. 30, Bland has been unable to participate in practice. His next chance to play would be Week 12 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 24, but if he's not activated off IR by Nov. 20, the 2022 fifth-round pick would be forced to sit out for the rest of the 2024 regular season.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined with foot injury Bland (foot) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Bland's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 30, but the 2022 fifth-round pick has failed to return to practice since. If he's not activated off IR by Nov. 20, Bland would be forced to spend the rest of the 2024 regular season on IR. At this point, it appears unlikely that he will be able to play against the Texans on Monday.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Missing another week Bland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bland has yet to practice since being activated to the Cowboys' active roster Oct. 30 as he continues to recover from a stress fracture in his left foot. Caelen Carson and C.J. Goodwin will likely continue seeing increased work with the Cowboys' first-team secondary until Bland can return to the field.

Has yet to return to practice Bland (foot) was listed as a DNP on the Cowboys' injury report Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Although Bland was activated off injured reserve Oct. 30, he has yet to return to practice while recovering from a stress fracture in his left foot that he sustained in training camp. Even if he's able to practice in a limited capacity this week, it appears the 2022 fifth-round pick is unlikely to play against the Eagles on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.
