The Dallas Cowboys are going to have to wait at least another week for the debut of the Diggs-DaRon Boundary Duo. After it appeared All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland was trending towards making his season debut against the Lions, what has to be ruled a setback occurred late in the practice week. The troubling part is that after a bye, he missed all three Week 8 practices and still has not been added back to the 53-man roster.
DT Jordan Phillips, who had a controversial move to IR with a wrist injury, has returned to practice this week, but the team did not activate the veteran for this matchup, either. The Cowboys lost TE John Stephens, Jr, earlier this week, suffering an ACL to the same knee that knocked him out of 2023. But all the news is not bad. The Cowboys are elevating RB Dalvin Cook from the practice squad; signaling his debut in a Dallas uniform.

As it stands, here is the 53-man roster Dallas will go into Sunday with, pending any additional moves (such as a second elevation, or moving players to IR).
