The Dallas Cowboys will not get to see the debut of the Diggs-DaRon Boundary Duo vs Detroit after all. After it appeared All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland was trending towards making his season debut this week, he missed practice on Friday. On Saturday, the club decided not to activate him from IR, delaying his return until at the earliest Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas has a bye following their Sunday contest against the Lions.
Bland has been out since having foot surgery late in the offseason and missed Friday after being a full participant on both Wednesday and Thursday. The Cowboys will be without their top four edge rushers as well; with Sam Williams, DeMarcus Lawrence and Marshawn Kneeland all on IR and Micah Parsons ruled out despite remaining on the active roster.
The Cowboys are elevating two players from the practice squad; cornerback Amani Oruwariye and LB Darius Harris. Oruwariye will make his third-straight appearance, the max for the club without bringing him up to the main roster. Harris is necessary as starting LB Eric Kendricks was ruled out with a back injury.
As it stands, here is the 54-man roster Dallas will go into Sunday with, when they will announce six inactive players about an hour and a half ahead of the game.
