Cowboys Make Disappointing Roster Moves vs. Lions

FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys opened up the window this week - but on Saturday opted to not have DaRon Bland climb through it.

Bland, working his way back from a late-summer injury, is eligible to return to the field. But the Dallas medical staff is overseeing a decision that will mean his debut will remain on hold.

So, the Pro Bowler who last year led the NFL in interceptions is not being added to the 53-man roster this week as the Cowboys are set to play host to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

With the bye next week, Bland - as is the case with teammate Micah Parsons, who is out this week with his high ankle sprain - will get extra time to rehab and Bland is therefore likely to be active for the San Francisco game after the bye.

The Cowboys - who do have cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and Caelen Carson ready to go after some injury issues this week - have elevated corner Amani Oruwariye to help. Also coming up: linebacker Darius Harris from the practice squad, as the Cowboys starting middle linebacker Eric Kendricks is dealing with injuries this week.
