The Dallas Cowboys are still waiting for the return of star cornerback DaRon Bland, who has been out since August due to a foot injury. While he has shown progress in his recovery, his availability for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans remains uncertain.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones noted that Bland had a good week but isn't ready to play yet. His absence has put pressure on the team's defense, forcing other players, such as rookie cornerback Caelen Carson, to step up. With Bland's practice window set to expire on November 20th, the Cowboys are feeling the urgency for his return.
