Dallas Cowboys Week 11 injury update is worst-case scenario for struggling secondary
Injuries have been the theme all season for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dak Prescott is done for the year, DeMarcus Lawrence is still out, Micah Parsons missed several weeks and CeeDee Lamb is suddenly dealing with a back injury (after battling through a shoulder issue in recent weeks).
These are just the ones that were lost after week 1. In addition to these players, Dallas lost Sam Williams to a torn ACL in training camp and he won’t be back until 2025. There’s also DaRon Bland, who has yet to make his career debut this year despite early optimism.

Bland, who suffered a Lisfranc injury before the regular season, was scheduled to take the field in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. Not only did that not happen, but he will remain out in Week 11, with the team ruling him out on Saturday.
The third-year pro is joined on the inactive list by Jourdan Lewis. A third-round pick out of Michigan in 2017, Lewis has been one of the best corners in the NFL this season and has helped replace Bland.
Lewis is struggling with a neck injury and is replaced by Israel Mukuamu. Rookie Caelen Carson will continue to fill in for Bland.
