DaRon Bland, the Dallas Cowboys' starting cornerback, has made significant progress in his recovery from a fractured foot, practicing fully on Wednesday. After undergoing surgery in late August and being taken off injured reserve last month, Bland's return has been closely monitored due to previous soreness during practice.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy expressed optimism about Bland's return, highlighting the impact of his absence last season when he led the NFL in interceptions.
Additionally, wide receiver Brandin Cooks is expected to play against Washington despite knee issues, while cornerback Jourdan Lewis anticipates returning after a neck injury. Unfortunately, safety Markquese Bell will miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury.
