Cowboys Place Trevon Diggs on Injured Reserve After At-Home Concussion

Under IR rules, his earliest return is Thanksgiving against the Chiefs after a home-accident concussion put him in protocol.

Overview

  • Dallas made the IR move on Saturday, ruling the cornerback out for at least four games following his Week 7 absence and a Week 8 scratch.
  • Coach Brian Schottenheimer and owner Jerry Jones have declined to share specifics of the incident, saying Diggs will address it when he chooses.
  • Executive Stephen Jones cited ongoing issues tied to prior injuries, with multiple reports noting knee concerns factored into the decision.
  • With Diggs sidelined, Dallas leans on DaRon Bland and Kaiir Elam, with Trikweze Bridges and other reserves filling roles for a pass defense ranked last in yards allowed.
  • Local voices have raised speculation about Diggs' long-term future given his contract structure and injury history, though the team has made no such determination.
