This Sunday night might be the biggest NFL game of the season outside of the Super Bowl. Many are intrigued to see former Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons back on his old turf as the Green Bay Packers are in town. The blockbuster trade before the season gave off similar vibes to when Luka Doncic was traded midseason from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Packers are coming off a brutal loss to the Cleveland Browns last Sunday, while the Cowboys lost to the Chicago Bears. The Cowboys are going through a mix of emotions at this point in the season. The return of Micah Parsons is on everyone's mind, but that is not the only thing. CeeDee Lamb will miss some time with an injury he suffered early in the game against the Bears. While, defensive back Daron Bland is looking as if he could make his return to the field.
The latest Cowboys injury report shows that both Bland and Trevon Diggs were full participants in practice. That is great news for this elite duo.
Bland has not played since Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys are really hoping to see both Bland and Diggs on the field together, as they are some of the best ball hawks in the NFL when healthy. Injuries have surfaced for both of them, and it has just the entire defense.
This Sunday night, the secondary will be tasked with taking on a Packers' offense that is led by Jordan Love. Forcing Love to make mistakes as he did against the Browns should give the Cowboys a chance to win.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer plans to fix the defense.
“Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team will simplify things, as well as possibly make lineup changes to improve things on defense.”
