Overview
- Dallas activated Trevon Diggs off injured reserve and he played in Week 16 against the Chargers, recording six tackles in a 34-17 loss.
- Diggs said a ceiling-mounted TV fell on his head while he tried to install it, explaining the concussion that sidelined him for eight games.
- To create a roster spot, the Cowboys placed DaRon Bland on injured reserve as he faces left foot surgery after signing a $92 million extension.
- Team leaders had cited lingering knee issues and a need for consistent practice work before clearing Diggs, activating him on the last day before he would have reverted to season-ending IR.
- The Eagles’ win eliminated Dallas from playoff contention, and multiple reports describe Diggs—two years into a $97 million extension—as a possible offseason cap casualty.
