The saga between cornerback Trevon Diggs and the Dallas Cowboys continues to be a weird one. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said earlier in the week that Diggs needed to do everything the right way before returning.
Despite his readiness to play, Diggs will remain on injured reserve/designated for return list, and he won’t play against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday.
Diggs hasn’t played since Week 6 when the Cowboys loss to the Carolina Panthers. His 21-day practice window is currently ongoing, but if he isn’t activated to the 53-man roster by next week, he’ll remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
The former second-round pick signed a five-year, $97 million extension in June of 2023, but he’s struggled to see the field since then. Diggs tore his ACL after two games that season. In late 2024, Diggs was placed on injured reserve due to an issue in the same knee which led to mircofracture surgery back in January. The last full season for Diggs was in 2022, and he’s only appeared in 19 games since then.
With this latest development, it calls into question not only if Diggs will play again in 2025, but if he’ll ever suit up for the Cowboys again. There already reports that the relationship may be over.
