Trevon Diggs sidelined with knee issue, won't play against Panthers
u/alex •
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss the game against the Carolina Panthers due to a knee issue.
Why it matters: Diggs has been a key player for the Cowboys' defense this season, and his absence could impact their ability to contain the Panthers' passing attack.
- He has missed three games this season and 15 games last year due to injury.
- Diggs played in the last game against the Bengals, but his knee issue seems to be persisting.
What's new: The Cowboys have elevated Andrew Booth from the practice squad to replace Diggs for the game against the Panthers.
Yes, but: The Cowboys secondary depth will be tested with Diggs out, as they have already dealt with injuries to other key cornerbacks this season.
- Diggs, Jourdan Lewis, and DaRon Bland have only played one game together this season.
What to watch: The performance of the Cowboys' secondary without Diggs will be closely watched, especially considering their upcoming schedule that includes tough matchups against top-tier quarterbacks.
What's next: The Cowboys will need to monitor Diggs' knee issue closely and ensure he receives proper rest and treatment to avoid any long-term complications.
- The team will also evaluate the status of other injured players, such as linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is expected to miss the entire season due to multiple ligament tears in his knee.
The bottom line: The absence of Trevon Diggs due to a knee issue poses a challenge for the Cowboys' defense, but the team is taking steps to address the situation and maintain their performance in the secondary.
