According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland is “facing” surgery on his left foot. Bland is seeking another opinion before scheduling anything, coming one year after a similar procedure.
Even if Bland does not need surgery, Archer adds he is expected to miss the rest of the 2025 season. Dallas has three games remaining and is considered a long shot to make the playoffs. Now, an already weak secondary loses a key piece.
“Cornerback DaRon Bland is facing surgery on his left foot for the second time in as many years, according to multiple sources,” Archer said via X. “Bland is seeking a second opinion. No surgery has been scheduled yet. Even w/o surgery, he is likely going to end up on injured reserve w/ 3 games left.”
Bland has played in 12 games this season, recording 73 tackles, three tackles for a loss, and an interception. This comes after a massive extension signed in the offseason, where Dallas gave Bland a four-year deal worth $90 million. Everyone inside the building believes he can be a key piece of the defense moving forward.
