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.
Trevon Diggs, Micah Parsons Officially Active Sunday
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf, illness) and linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) are officially active for Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both players had been listed as questionable. Diggs had missed practice on Friday but was widely expected to play this weekend. He has 31 tackles and one interception this season. The 26-year-old will be tasked with slowing down the connection between quarterback Jalen Hurts and his top receivers, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Parsons, meanwhile, is returning to play in his first game since Week 4 against the New York Giants. The star 25-year-old had amassed 14 tackles and one sack through his first four games. His return provides a major boost to Dallas' defense ahead of this week's divisional contest.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf) is officially active and will play on Sunday in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Linebacker Eric Kendricks (shoulder), who was also listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, is active as well, while linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) remain out. Diggs is returning to Dallas' secondary after recovering from a partial tear in his calf muscle. The 26-year-old's return is great news for a struggling Cowboys defense, but Diggs could be eased back into action against Atlanta. Fantasy managers should still be looking to stay away from the Cowboys' defense/special teams unit in fantasy lineups against a Falcons offense with plenty of weapons. Diggs' return could be bad news for Falcons wideout Drake London.
Trevon Diggs Considered A Game-Time Decision For Week 9
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf) is expected to be a game-time decision against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Even though Diggs is listed as questionable and didn't practice this week, the Cowboys are leaving the door open for him to suit up against Atlanta. The 26-year-old defender is off to a quieter start this season, amassing 28 tackles and just one interception through seven games so far. If he can't suit up, Caelen Carson and Andrew Booth would earn additional opportunities on defense.
Dallas Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs (calf) is reportedly going to be a game-time decision for the Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The young defensive back reportedly has a tear in his calf, but was able to get through some practice work on Friday. It sounds like the Cowboys are going to wait and see how Diggs feels closer to Sunday. The loss of Diggs would be a significant hit to the Dallas defense that is already without pass rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) and defensive back DaRon Bland (foot) for Sunday's game.
