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.

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.
