"With a fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Cowboys selected DaRon Bland out of Fresno State. As a rookie, Bland played in all 17 games for Dallas and made eight starts. He ended the year with five interceptions. During his sophomore campaign in 2023, Bland had a breakout season for the Cowboys. The 26-year-old had a league-high interceptions and returned five of them for a touchdown. That was enough to earn DaRon Bland Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors."
"In 2024, Bland played in just seven games for the Dallas Cowboys. He suffered a stress fracture in his foot last season and needed surgery. Bland was ready to go for Week 1 and played against the Eagles. Unfortunately, Bland suffered a freak injury at practice on Monday. His new foot injury is unrelated to the one that cost him 10 games in 2024."
DaRon Bland, the Cowboys' All-Pro cornerback, sustained a foot injury during Monday practice and could miss a couple of weeks. Bland returned from a 2024 stress fracture that required surgery and played in Week 1, but the new injury is unrelated to last season's issue. Bland was a fifth-round pick in 2022, played all 17 games as a rookie, and produced a breakout 2023 season with a league-high interceptions and multiple pick-sixes, earning Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors. The Cowboys' secondary faces pressure with Bland sidelined and Trevon Diggs not at full health.
