Cowboys Secondary in Flux as Bland Returns to Practice and Diggs’ Status Is Disputed

A shaky start on defense with 92 points allowed heightens the stakes for Dallas’ thin cornerback group.

Overview

  • Ian Rapoport reported that starting cornerbacks DaRon Bland (foot) and Trevon Diggs (knee) were full participants in practice on Thursday.
  • The Cowboys’ official injury report, cited by Heavy, listed Diggs as not practicing, creating uncertainty over his availability.
  • Bland returned to practice after missing time with a foot issue, offering a potential boost to an undermanned secondary.
  • Dallas is 1-2 after three games and has surrendered 92 points, underscoring the pressure on a defense already short on depth.
  • Diggs’ recent form has lagged, with a 156.2 passer rating allowed on eight targets and a history of knee surgeries following his five-year, $97 million deal.
