The Dallas Cowboys' defense has been a point of contention through three weeks of action. The team is currently 1-2 on the season, and a big part of that has to do with the defense giving up 92 points to opposing offenses.

Diggs has been dealing with a nagging knee injury, but he still managed to play in Week 3. The issue could have easily kept him out of Week 4, but it appears he has now made a huge step toward being healthy for the Cowboys' matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Dallas is looking to bounce back from a 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately, they are facing a strong NFC rival in the Packers.
This is being viewed as the "revenge game" for Parsons, who was traded to Green Bay in one of the most shocking NFL trades ever committed.
Both teams are sure to bring intensity, but the Cowboys need to start stringing some wins together to ensure they stay in the NFC race. A 1-2 record is not a death sentence by any means, but the NFC has tons of talented and competitive teams vying for a playoff spot.
With Bland and Diggs back in the lineup, this Cowboys defense might just be able to keep pace with the team's high-powered offense.
