Cowboys’ DaRon Bland out 6-8 weeks with stress fracture in foot after record-setting 2023 season

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland, who set an NFL record last season by returning five interceptions for touchdowns, will miss six to eight weeks because of a stress fracture in his foot. The Cowboys announced the 25-year-old Bland’s injury before their preseason finale at home against the Los Angeles Chargers. The loss of Bland comes with the Cowboys getting ready for the return of 2021 All-Pro Trevon Diggs, who missed all but two games last year after tearing a knee ligament. The fourth return for a TD came in the 10th game against Carolina, tying the previous record shared by Philadelphia’s Eric Allen, Kansas City’s Jim Kearney and Houston’s Ken Houston.
