Cowboys injury news: DaRon Bland, Micah Parsons out, Trevon Diggs questionable

Heading into the weekend as underdogs versus the Atlanta Falcons, the Dallas Cowboys injury report isn’t the best of news. The Cowboys will be without a couple of stars and maybe down a couple of others.

Here’s one last look at Dallas’ injuries before the big versus the Falcons.

The Cowboys are looking like they could be thin once again at cornerback this weekend. DaRon Bland (foot) has not practiced this week, and Friday the team announced that he is out this Sunday. Trevon Diggs, who sustained an injury against the 49ers, is also questionable. Speaking with reporters this morning, team owner Jerry Jones said Diggs has a calf tear. The extent of the injury is unknown, but for the very least, it’s murky if he will play this week. This is an added blow since the team sent Amani Oruwariye to injured reserve this week.

To no one’s surprise, Micah Parsons was also ruled out with an ankle injury after not being able to return to practice this week. On the positive side, Dallas will likely have Caelen Carson back, who practiced this week. Meanwhile, Zack Martin (shoulder), Eric Kendricks (shoulder), and Linval Joseph (back) were limited at practice and cited as questionable to play against Atlanta.

For the Falcons, Chris Lindstrom, Drew Dalman and Troy Anderson are questionable to play Sunday, and rookies Ruke Orhorhoro and JD Bertrand have been ruled out.
