Dallas Cowboys optimistic as DaRon Bland eyes return for pivotal matchup against Green Bay Packers
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones delivered an encouraging message regarding cornerback DaRon Bland’s recent foot injury during a pregame interview on 105.3 The Fan. According to reports, Jones indicated that while Bland might miss the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears, there is a realistic chance he could be back in action for the Week 4 showdown against the Green Bay Packers.
The Cowboys are set to face off against the Bears in Week 3, but the spotlight is already shifting toward the following week. On September 28, the Cowboys will host the Packers at AT&T Stadium, marking a significant moment for linebacker Micah Parsons, who will be going up against his former team for the first time since his trade.
Positive Outlook from Team Executives
Stephen Jones, the Cowboys’ executive vice president, also shared a hopeful update on Bland’s condition. He remarked during the same radio segment, “We feel really good that it’s going to be of the short end of the stick in terms of how much time he misses. Hopefully not more than a couple of games.” This suggests that the Cowboys are optimistic about Bland’s recovery, and the injury appears to be less severe than initially feared.
As the situation stands, it seems likely that Bland’s absence will be brief. The team will provide a clearer update on his status in the lead-up to the Packers game, offering fans and coaches alike a reason to remain hopeful as they prepare for this critical matchup.
