This was inevitable as Bland had to be activated from injured reserve this week or else he would have had to have stayed on there for the duration of the season. This was the case because the Cowboys first opened his window for potential return ahead of the game against the Detroit Lions three weeks ago.
Bland’s return, to the active roster at least, is certainly welcome for a Cowboys team that could use any help that it can get right now. DeMarcus Lawrence and Marshawn Kneeland remain on injured reserve while Micah Parsons has not played since the Thursday night win against the New York Giants. That game was now over a month ago.
Whenever Bland does officially return to the gameday roster we will finally get to see him and Trevon Diggs patrol the secondary as the team’s premier outside corners. You will recall that Bland’s emergence came last season when Diggs was injured.
To make room for Bland on the 53-man roster the Cowboys also announced that cornerback Amani Oruwariye is heading to injured reserve.
