The Cowboys' secondary has been the focus of this week's injury updates. The team officially activated cornerback DaRon Bland to the active roster, as his 21-day window has come to an end. Bland is hoping to make his season debut after missing the first seven games due to a foot injury he sustained during preseason.

Cornerback Caelen Carson who has missed the last four games due to a shoulder injury was a full go for Wednesday's practice session.

Meanwhile, cornerback Trevon Diggs was held out of practice today due to tightness in his calf. The All-Pro told reporters earlier today that he is working through it and receiving treatment.

Kickoff between the Cowboys and Falcons on Sunday is set for 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX.
