The Dallas Cowboys are 0-1 to start the 2025 NFL season and the injury report was released on Wednesday ahead of the New York Giants matchup. Cowboys' cornerback DaRon Bland did not injure himself in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he apparently injured his right foot during practice on Monday.
If Bland has to miss significant time for the Cowboys, this is a huge blow to the defense. They already traded away Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. The defense is already taking hits this season. The defense did not look good last week against the Eagles. Can the defense potentially be in for a long day against the Giants if Bland has to miss time?
ESPN Insider Reveals That Dallas Cowboys Cornerback DaRon Bland Could Miss Several Weeks with a Foot Injury
Espn.com writer Todd Archer mentioned that the Cowboys could be without Bland for the next several weeks. Archer said in his latest article about the Bland injury,
"The Dallas Cowboys could be without cornerback DaRon Bland for a couple of weeks because of a right foot injury suffered in Monday's practice, sources told ESPN.
Bland did not practice Wednesday, but the injury is unrelated to the foot issue that limited him to seven games last season. Last year, Bland dealt with a stress fracture in his left foot that required surgery.
This injury is not considered as serious, but his absence comes while Trevon Diggs is still ramping up his work after undergoing left knee surgery in January and the Cowboys lack proven depth at the position."
Luckily for Bland, he signed a four-year $92 million extension on August 31. Also, $50 million of his contract is guaranteed. During the game against the Eagles last week, he recorded three tackles. If he does not play against the Giants on Sunday and also miss several other games ahead, then Dallas's defense is going to be in a very bad spot.
