Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs to Miss Rest of Season Due to Knee Injury, Requires Surgery
u/alex •
Trevon Diggs, the Dallas Cowboys cornerback, will miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury that requires surgery.
Why it matters: Diggs has been a key player for the Cowboys' defense this season, and his absence will have a significant impact on their secondary.
- Diggs played 11 games this season, recording 44 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 pass deflections.
- He was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game but was downgraded to out and did not travel with the team.
- Diggs' need for surgery was first reported by Fox Sports.
- This is not related to the torn ACL he suffered last year.
Yes, but: The Cowboys have faced multiple injuries to their star players throughout the season.
- Diggs joins Dak Prescott, Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, and DaRon Bland as former Pro Bowlers who have been placed on injured reserve.
What to watch: The Cowboys defense will have to rely on other players to step up in Diggs' absence.
- The team will need strong performances from their remaining cornerbacks to maintain their defensive effectiveness.
What's next: Diggs' surgery and subsequent rehabilitation will be crucial for his recovery and readiness for the next season.
- The Cowboys will also have to consider his contract situation and the impact of his absence on their salary cap for future seasons.
The bottom line: Losing Trevon Diggs for the rest of the season is a significant blow to the Cowboys' defense.
- The team will have to adjust its defensive strategies and rely on other players to fill the void left by Diggs' absence.
