Dallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland (foot) is scheduled to undergo foot surgery next week but should be ready for the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: Bland does not expect the recovery to limit him in offseason workouts and OTAs. He suffered a left foot fracture during 2024's training camp, just after a breakout 2023 season that saw Bland set a new NFL record for most interceptions returned for touchdown in a single season. That sidelined him until Week 12 following surgery in 2024. The Cowboys then signed Bland to a four-year contract extension worth $92 million ($50 million guaranteed) in August, but the foot issues persisted. He missed the final three games this year and finished the season with one interception. |

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers CB/WR Bo Melton did not have a catch on one target in Week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he did have a solo tackle.
| Footballguys view: Melton, who has played most of the snaps at wide receiver on Sunday, was injured while making a tackle on punt coverage. Melton played 177 snaps on special teams through the first 16 weeks. The Packers cross-trained him at cornerback this offseason, but he has not played a snap on defense in 2025. On special teams, Melton returns kicks, covers punts, and kicks and blocks on punt return -- making him a core special teamer. He also has a touchdown catch as a wide receiver. It remains to be seen if this injury will impact Melton's postseason availability. |
