FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys are facing a third consecutive season of trying to overcome a significant injury at cornerback. Recent history says they'll be fine. Rookie Caelen Carson is the latest replacement with DaRon Bland sidelined by a stress fracture in his foot. Bland is a year removed from setting an NFL record with five interception returns for touchdowns. He pulled that off after 2021 All-Pro Trevon Diggs went down with a season-ending knee injury. Bland emerged as a rookie two years ago when Jourdan Lewis had a broken foot. Carson is expected to start in his debut Sunday at Cleveland.
