Dallas Cowboys' defensive star misses Wednesday practice with injury

The Dallas Cowboys will welcome the New York Giants to AT&T Stadium on Sunday in the team's home opener of the 2025 season.

It may only be Week 2, but the matchup with the Giants will be extremely important for both teams, as both look to avoid going 0-2 in the NFC East this early in the season.

If the Cowboys are going to bring everything they have, then the hope is that the team can be as healthy as they can be at this point of the year. However, on Wednesday, fans got some bad news regarding cornerback DaRon Bland.

According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Bland was spotted walking around with a boot in the facility.

Bland's young career has been decimated by injuries already. The former All-Pro missed 10 games last season, and his path toward playing this Sunday looks very small.

The Cowboys' secondary has been decimated by injury in recent years. Even the team's rookie cornerback, Shavon Revel, came into the league nursing an injury. In a game where the opponent is struggling to find their identity at quarterback, the Cowboys may not be able to capitalize.
