The Cowboys recently signed defensive end <strong>Jadeveon Clowney<\/strong> to a one-year contract, as previously reported by <em>The Dallas Express<\/em>, to help generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is also expecting cornerback <strong>DaRon Bland<\/strong> to return to the field in the coming weeks, though no official timeline for his return has been provided at this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Articles like this one are available completely free, 365 days a year.<\/p>\n<p>Your support ensures Dallas Express remains an alternative to legacy media \u2014 independent, fearless, and paywall-free.<\/p>\n<p>Give now<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys defense eyes relief as rookie Shavon Revel Jr. targets Week 5 return and LB Demarvion Overshown eyes October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":95756,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
