Cowboys Put DaRon Bland on IR as Trevon Diggs Returns From Injured Reserve

The transactions reshape a depleted cornerback group for a team still barely in postseason contention.

Overview

  • Dallas officially activated Trevon Diggs on Saturday, making him eligible to play Sunday against the Chargers in his first action in more than two months.
  • To open the roster spot, the Cowboys placed DaRon Bland on injured reserve with a left‑foot injury after he sought a second opinion and faced the possibility of another surgery.
  • Coaches said Diggs had a strong week of practice, and multiple reports indicate he is expected to be eased back in rather than immediately reclaiming a full‑time starting role.
  • Diggs had been on IR since Oct. 25 following an at‑home concussion and right‑knee issues, and Saturday’s move prevented his practice window from closing for the season.
  • Dallas also elevated cornerback Corey Ballentine for Week 16 as depth remains thin behind options such as Shavon Revel and Caelen Carson.
