Cowboys' Donovan Ezeiruaku, DaRon Bland held back during OTAs

The Dallas Cowboys conducted their first OTA session on June 5, 2026, with key defenders Donovan Ezeiruaku and DaRon Bland not participating fully due to precautionary measures. Ezeiruaku, recovering from hip surgery, had two sacks in his rookie season but is currently engaged in rehab and learning the team's system. Bland, entering his second year of a $90 million contract, has faced foot injuries and recently underwent offseason surgery. Coach Brian Schottenheimer remains optimistic about their potential readiness for training camp.
