Cowboys injury news: DaRon Bland questionable, Eric Kendricks out

TGIF. We are here: The final injury report before the Dallas Cowboys face the Detroit Lions at AT&T Stadium. Over the past few days, you can sense the growing confidence amongst Cowboys Nation that they can handle business and take down the Lions. Detroit does boast a good pass rush and explosive playmakers offensively. Yet, the way the Cowboys played team defense and gave Dak Prescott adequate time in the pocket last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers gives belief that Dallas can do it again at home. We’ll see. Here’s the latest about the Cowboys’ injuries heading into the weekend.

The Cowboys secondary is looking a little iffy. After two days of full practices, DaRon Bland did not practice today and has been labeled questionable. Dallas has expressed much optimism about his ability to play this week, and signs were trending in that direction. Yet, a DNP today makes it look murky for his chances to play. Caelen Carson however, did practice fully although questionable. Trevon Diggs sat out because of illness and an ankle injury yesterday but worked back into today’s team activities and has no injury designation for Sunday’s game. Zack Martin did not practice the last two days but managed to get a full days work on Friday. He also carries no injury designation.

Eric Kendricks has not practiced all week and was ultimately ruled out versus Detroit, as he has sat out this week with calf and shoulder injuries. As expected, Micah Parsons was ruled out. He will be out for at least another game.

For Detroit, Frank Ragnow was taken off the injury report and will play. Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch also practiced in full on Friday and are good to go on Sunday.
