2023 saw the Cowboys lose Trevon Diggs to an ACL tear last September. Having Diggs ready for the 2024 season was great news for the Cowboys' defense.

Now another one of their star cornerbacks Daron Bland will miss 6-8 weeks to undergo surgery for a stress fracture on his foot.

Impact of Bland Injury

Daron Bland led the NFL in interceptions in 2023 with 9 and tied for seventh with 15 passes defended. Bland had an NFL record 5 interceptions returned for a touchdown in 2023. Production that can't be replicated.

Behind Diggs and Bland the next man up for Dallas is going to have big shoes to fill. Expect whoever takes over during Blands' absence to be examined under a microscope.

The Cowboys are going to need other guys like rookie Caelan Carson, Josh Butler, or Eric Scott Jr. To step up in his absence to help Diggs keep the secondary in order until the 2023 interception leader returns.

Final Thoughts

Nobody ever wants to see an injury occur, especially right before the season starts. Having lost Bland for several weeks, the Dallas Cowboys still have some time to figure out how they are going to approach the void before the season starts.
