The Dallas Cowboys injury report grew following their Thursday night win against the New York Giants, but there is some positive news regarding All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland.

ESPN's Todd Archer provided an update on Bland's injury, stating, "Mike McCarthy said Pro Bowl CB DaRon Bland will do some expanded on-field work this week with director of rehab Britt Brown as he returns from foot surgery.

"Unclear at the moment if he will be ready to go Oct. 6 vs. Pittsburgh, though."

Having DaRon Bland back for the Cowboys' Week 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers could be crucial for securing a much-needed win to get them above .500, especially with their top two pass-rushers sidelined.

With Justin Fields likely having more time to throw, adding another lockdown corner to the roster becomes essential.
