Updates: Carson on track vs. Steelers, Bland latest
Caelen Carson is currently on track to potentially return when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in primetime on Sunday.
The rookie fifth-round pick missed the victory over the New York Giants with a shoulder injury suffered in the loss against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, putting the Cowboys down their immediate replacement for All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland, the latter working to return from injured reserve.
It looks as if at least one of the two could be on the field this weekend.
“I think Carson has a real chance,” said executive vice president and director of player personnel Stephen Jones to 105.3 The Fan on Monday. “I think Bland is a longer shot. We’ll see. I think [Bland] is really starting to pick it up now, in terms of the workload that Britt [Brown] is giving him. We’ll continue to monitor his situation as we move forward.”
Having to leave the game in the second half, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence said “I’ll be fine” when asked about his sprained foot injury.
Lawrence, who recorded the only sack of the game for the Cowboys, had to leave for the locker room after suffering the injury late in the third quarter.
“It’s just a sprained foot, but I’ll be fine.” Lawrence said. “We will use these (10 days of rest) to get ready for another big game in Pittsburgh next week.”
