Cowboys' Trevon Diggs Faces Extended Recovery After Season-Ending Knee Surgery

The All-Pro cornerback's recovery timeline may delay his return until the start of the 2025 NFL season, following surgery to address cartilage damage.

• Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a knee injury requiring surgery.
• Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones stated that Diggs' recovery could take up to eight months, potentially sidelining him through 2025 training camp and possibly into the start of the regular season.
• The injury involves cartilage damage and is unrelated to the ACL tear Diggs suffered in 2023, which limited him to just two games last season.
• Despite battling multiple injuries this year, Diggs played in 11 games, recording 42 tackles and two interceptions in his comeback season.
• Diggs is in the first year of a five-year, $97 million contract extension, and the Cowboys will need to plan for his absence as they aim to maintain a strong defensive unit.
