DaRon Bland injury update appears promising at Cowboys practice

The Dallas Cowboys secondary took a hit at the end of the preseason when it was announced that All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland would be forced to miss an extended period due to a stress fracture in his foot.

Bland's timeline for a return was six to eight weeks.

He was placed on the injured reserve list and is eligible to return from IR in two weeks. Today, there was a promising sight for Cowboys fans in search of any good news.

Bland returned to practice and was working with the medical team on the field as he continues his recovering from foot surgery.

Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com shared photos from the practice and noted the defensive back was on the field in "regular shoes/no boot, no limp." He was working out on the resistance cords.

While it's not a definitive indication that Bland could return at the sooner rather than later, seeing him back on the field with no visible signs of injury is a positive sign that he has not had any immediate setbacks.
