As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the upcoming NFL season, they got some bad news regarding the health of one of their most important players.
On Saturday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys announced the horrible news that All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland will miss the start of the upcoming season as a result of a stress fracture. The injury is expected to keep him sidelined for up to two months.
“DaRon Bland experienced foot discomfort on Wednesday of last week during training camp in Oxnard,” the Cowboys said in a statement according to Pro Football Talk. “Subsequent imaging revealed a stress fracture in his foot. He will undergo surgery to repair the injury and is currently projected to be out for 6-8 weeks.”
This is obviously a massive blow and pretty horrible news for the Cowboys as Bland is one of the team’s most important playmakers on the defensive side of the ball, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Last season, Bland led the entire league with nine interceptions and 209 interception return yards and set a new NFL record by returning five of those interceptions for a touchdown.
We’ll have to see how Bland bounces back.
