The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for a challenging Week 6 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, but their preparations have been hampered by a rash of injuries and illnesses affecting the team's secondary. Several key defensive backs were absent or limited during Monday's practice, raising concerns about the team's defensive capabilities.
Cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Calean Carson were sent home due to illness, and their availability for the upcoming game remains uncertain. Additionally, defensive backs Ameer Speed and Shavon Revel Jr. were limited in drills with undisclosed injuries. Cobie Durant (hamstring) and P.J. Locke (foot) were also in the rehab group, further thinning the team's defensive backfield.
On a more positive note, Joey Porter Jr. returned to practice after missing Week 5 with an illness and is expected to play.
