Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) said his goal is to return for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season this fall, according to The Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins. Diggs had surgery to fix a cartilage issue in his knee in January and is expected to start training camp this summer on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The 26-year-old tore his ACL in Week 3 of 2023 but made it back last year, only to deal with ankle, calf, groin and foot injuries, in addition to his knee ailment, while being limited to 11 starts. It seems like ages ago that he recorded a league-high 11 interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) in 2021. Dallas figures to be cautious with the two-time Pro Bowler in his recovery, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he's not ready for the season opener in September. When healthy, Diggs has already proved he can be a ball-hawking defensive back for the Cowboys defense.
Cowboys Expect Trevon Diggs To Start Camp On The PUP List
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) is recovering from surgery in January for a cartilage issue, and owner Jerry Jones said he hopes the 26-year-old defensive back treats his rehab more seriously than he did after he tore his left ACL in Week 3 of the 2023 season. Diggs made it back for the start of the 2024 season, but there were frustrations from the team with how he handled some rehab sessions, and it surprised the team that he left Dallas during his rehab work. He played in 11 games last year before suffering an injury to the same knee and had surgery on Jan. 23 for a chondral tissue graft to fix damaged cartilage. The Cowboys expect Diggs to start training camp on July 21 on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler, had a league-high 11 interceptions in 2021 but has six since in three years.
Trevon Diggs Might Not Be Ready For Start Of Season
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) might not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. Diggs had surgery on his left knee in late January, putting his status firmly in doubt for Week 1, especially since it's the same knee the 26-year-old defensive back suffered an ACL tear in back in 2023. In addition to his knee injury, Diggs also dealt with ankle, calf and foot injuries in 2024 and was limited to 11 starts, recording 42 tackles (35 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in his fifth year in Dallas. The former second-round selection (51st overall) in 2020 out of Alabama was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 when he had a league-high 11 interceptions. Since then, though, Diggs has had six picks in 30 games and has been saddled by injuries the last two seasons.
Trevon Diggs Has Knee Surgery, May Not Be Ready For Start Of 2025 Season
ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer reports that Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) had a chondral tissue graft surgery on Thursday on his left knee, and the recovery could keep him out until parts of training camp, if not longer, according to multiple sources. The delay in Diggs' surgery could cost him the start of the 2025 season, although we'll have a better idea of his timeline later this offseason. The 26-year-old defensive back landed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 21 due to his left-knee injury. The former second-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft out of Alabama has only played in 13 games the last two seasons due to injuries after he made the Pro Bowl in both 2021 and 2022. Diggs had 14 interceptions in 2021 and 2022 but has recorded only three picks since while dealing with injuries. Even if he's ready for Week 1 this fall, Dallas may choose to ease him back in early in the year.
Trevon Diggs Not Guaranteed To Be Ready For Start Of Next Season
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) will have surgery to fix an issue in his articular cartilage, and his recovery could take up to eight months. The expectation is that Diggs won't be ready for the start of training camp, but there's a chance he could be ready for the start of the regular season. Diggs' injury is related to fluid in his knee and subsequent cartilage problems. The 26-year-old defensive back made back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2021 and 2022 and was an All-Pro in 2021, but he's had back-to-back injury-plagued years now and has played in a combined 13 games in that span. In 11 starts in 2024, he had 42 tackles (35 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups. Diggs had a league-high 11 picks in 2021 but has six in three years since.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss the Cowboys' Week 15 game against the Panthers and will have season-ending knee surgery according to a report from Jay Glazer. It's another big injury for Dallas which has been decimated by big-time ailments this season. Diggs has 42 tackles (35 solo tackles) this season with two interceptions in 11 games this season. The Cowboys, already without quarterback Dak Prescott for much of the season, take on Carolina in Week 15. Dallas' lost season is getting much bleaker on the injury front with Diggs' season-ending injury.
Dallas Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs (knee) has been designated as questionable yet again for this weekend's road meeting with the Carolina Panthers. The former second-round pick has dealt with many injuries this season but missed just three games thus far. Diggs picked up the knee issue between Weeks 11 and 12, and it has prohibited him thus far from logging a full practice session. The 26-year-old played last Monday despite the questionable tag -- participating on 100% of the Cowboys' defensive snaps. However, it's worth noting that he was downgraded to a non-participant this past Friday. With teammate Jourdan Lewis (hamstring) also uncertain for Week 15, Dallas could be in danger of being down two of their top three cornerbacks. If Diggs is deemed inactive, teammate Amani Oruwariye figures to shoulder at least some of the snap load. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on the veteran over the next day or so.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (groin, knee) was officially active for the Monday night contest in Dallas against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Diggs will return as a starter on the boundary, and backup corner Josh Butler (knee) has been placed on Injured Reserve with a season-ending torn ACL. The Cowboys banged-up defense could certainly use the help to try and slow down one of the most dangerous passing attacks in football in Joe Burrow and company. While it's nice to have Diggs back in the fold for a primetime contest, he could be eased back into the flow after missing the last two games. The 26-year-old ball-hawking defensive back had a league-high 11 interceptions in his second year in the league in 2021 but has just six in three years since. He's recorded 37 tackles (30 solo), two picks and eight pass breakups in 10 starts in 2024.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (groin, knee) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Wednesday. Diggs has made frequent appearances on the injury report this season, and although he managed to play in the first 10 games of the season, he will now miss his second contest in a row. The Cowboys will look to replace Diggs, who has 37 tackles and a pair of interceptions in 2024, with Josh Butler.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (groin, knee) and guard Zack Martin (ankle, shoulder) have both been downgraded to out ahead of Week 12 versus the Washington Commanders. Diggs had previously been listed as questionable while Martin was doubtful. Diggs has appeared in 10 games this season, making 37 tackles and intercepting two passes. Martin has also played in all 10 contests, posting a career-low 65.6 PFF grade so far. Losing both players is bad news for the Cowboys as they take on a surging divisional opponent, the Washington Commanders.
