Overview

• Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Diggs reported concussion symptoms Friday after an accident at home Thursday night and was placed in protocol, ruling him out of Week 7.
• Following a 44–22 win over Washington, Jerry Jones offered few specifics on the incident but characterized it as a simple accident and voiced confidence in a short absence.
• Jones said the team will ensure no rules issues are implicated and confirmed Diggs will receive his game check while he progresses through the protocol.
• The Cowboys provided no public details on how the accident occurred, a lack of transparency that has coincided with fan and media trade chatter ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.
• Dallas adjusted in Diggs’ absence by elevating cornerback Caelen Carson and leaning into more man coverage with added blitzes, and the team visits Denver in Week 8.
