Cowboys Near Deadline on Trevon Diggs as Return Dispute Intensifies

Jerry Jones says Trevon Diggs is not healthy enough to play, a contention the cornerback rejects as Dallas must choose between activating him or letting him revert to season-ending injured reserve.

Overview

  • Diggs practiced during his 21-day return window but was a surprise inactive for the Week 15 loss to the Vikings, which dropped Dallas to 6–7–1.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the decision involved standards and expectations beyond health after a detailed Saturday meeting with Diggs.
  • The Cowboys opened Diggs’ practice window on Nov. 30 and have until Saturday to add him to the 53-man roster or he will revert to IR for the rest of the season.
  • Jones publicly stated the team did not like what it saw in practice regarding Diggs’ health and playmaking capability, while Diggs maintains he is ready and does not know what more he can show.
  • Reporting from multiple outlets describes a relationship that has soured, and coverage notes future uncertainty tied to his large contract and potential cap ramifications if the team considers a move in the offseason.
