Trevon Diggs Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Eagles vs Cowboys game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 30, 2025
Spotted at practice Thursday
Diggs (concussion/knee) attended practice Thursday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs landed on injured reserve Saturday due in part to a concussion. It was subsequently revealed that the veteran cornerback is also dealing with a right knee injury. Diggs' appearance on the practice field Thursday could suggest that he's cleared concussion protocol, per Hoyt, but it doesn't necessarily change his timeframe for returning to action. Due to his placement on IR, Diggs isn't eligible to play again until at least Thursday, Nov. 27 versus Kansas City.
Oct 28, 2025
Also working through knee injury
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones relayed Tuesday that Diggs (concussion) is also rehabbing from a right knee injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a concussion that he sustained away from team activities. The 2020 second-rounder is also managing a right knee injury that could require minor surgery if rest and rehab isn't enough, though it's not to the same knee that he suffered a torn ACL and ligament damage to during the 2023 season. Diggs is eligible to be activated off injured for Week 12 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 23., but it appears that the sixth-year pro will stay on IR past that window. Kaiir Elam and Trikweze Bridges will continue to see extra snaps at outside corner for as long as Diggs is out of action.
Oct 25, 2025
Shifts to IR
Diggs (concussion) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was sidelined for the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Commanders due to a concussion, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games following his placement on IR. The 27-year-old appeared in Dallas' first six games this season, recording 18 total tackles. While he's sidelined for the foreseeable future, expect Caelen Carson to see increased snaps with the Cowboys' first-team defense.
Oct 24, 2025
Ruled out for Week 8
Diggs (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs didn't practice at all this week and will miss his second straight contest. Kaiir Elam and Trikweze Bridges saw increased snaps on defense alongside DaRon Bland at cornerback last Sunday against Washington.
Oct 22, 2025
No practice Wednesday
Diggs (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs suffered the injury in a home accident that caused him to miss Week 7. That he still wasn't able to practice Wednesday is a concern, as he'd likely need to turn in a full practice by Friday to have a chance to suit up in Week 8 against the Broncos.
Oct 20, 2025
Still in concussion protocol
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer relayed Monday that Diggs is still in the league's concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs landed in concussion protocol after an incident in his home Thursday, which prevented from playing in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Commanders. He'll aim to return in practice in the coming week, but he would be required to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Broncos on Sunday.
Oct 17, 2025
In concussion protocol, out Week 7
Diggs (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had an incident in his home Thursday night that landed him in concussion protocol. He will need to clear the protocol to have a chance to return against the Broncos in Week 8. Diggs' absence Sunday will make a Cowboys secondary that has been the worst in the league at defending wide receivers even more vulnerable, though Washington may not have the personnel to capitalize given Terry McLaurin's (quadriceps) absence and the uncertainty over Deebo Samuel's (heel) availability.
Oct 12, 2025
Good to go for Week 6
Diggs (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against Carolina, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs dealt with a knee injury throughout the week and was deemed questionable on Friday's final injury report. He's ultimately going to be able to play and will be joined as a starting cornerback by DaRon Bland, who is also active despite managing a shoulder issue.
Oct 11, 2025
Likely to play Week 6
Diggs (knee), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, is slated to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited in practice all week due to a knee injury. He entered the weekend deemed questionable to play Sunday, but it appears he's going to be able to take the field. Fellow starting cornerback DaRon Bland is also officially questionable due to a shoulder injury, though Rapoport reports that Bland is also expected to be able to play.
Oct 10, 2025
Draws questionable tag for Week 6
Diggs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs hasn't missed a game all season despite working through a lingering knee injury, so he's leaning towards the probable side of playing in Sunday's road game. The 2020 second-rounder has 15 tackles (11 solo) through the first five games of the 2025 regular season.
Oct 9, 2025
Limited at practice
Diggs (knee) logged another limited practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been battling a knee injury throughout the entire season, but he's yet to miss any contests. The cornerback will have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, but considering he's practicing in any capacity, Diggs seems likely to play in Week 6.
Oct 8, 2025
Still working through knee issue
Diggs (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs continues to have his practice participation limited due to a lingering knee injury from the 2024 season. He hasn't missed a single regular-season game this year and played every defensive snap during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, when he logged four tackles (one solo). Diggs will likely play against the Panthers on Sunday unless he suffers a setback over the coming days.
Oct 3, 2025
Good to go for Sunday
Diggs (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was able to log a full practice Friday after being limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, setting himself up to suit up in Week 5. He may not get a ton of action Sunday lined up against a run-heavy Jets offense.
Oct 1, 2025
Limited by knee injury
Diggs (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has dealt with knee, shoulder and hamstring issues so far this season. His snaps have been dialed back the last two weeks, as Diggs didn't start last Sunday night's tie with the Packers. Despite the injuries, Diggs has played in all four contests, logging 11 tackles (10 solo) on 66 percent of the defensive snaps.
Sep 27, 2025
Dealing with multiple injuries
Diggs is expected to play Sunday against the Packers despite shoulder, knee and hamstring issues, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Although the cornerback heads into Week 4 action absent from the final injury report, Diggs appears to be far from 100 percent. He underwent knee surgery in January and briefly left last week's loss to the Bears due to his shoulder before getting back on the field, but it was a right hamstring issue that nearly kept him out of the lineup entirely in Week 3. "Trey is dealing with some stuff like guys have to do," coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday. "Like I said, it's awesome to see him come back in the game last week. He got the shoulder dinged up and then to come back in and make a couple of physical plays, it was great to see." DaRon Bland's return this week will take some pressure off him to return to form, but Diggs has been a major liability in the secondary so far in 2025 -- he carries a stunning 158.3 QB rating against in coverage, having already allowed three touchdowns on only six targets sent his way.
Sep 25, 2025
Logs full practice Thursday
Diggs (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs injured his shoulder during Sunday's loss to the Bears, and he opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday due to a knee issue. His ability to practice fully Thursday indicates that he is past both issues and should be cleared to play against Green Bay on Sunday. Diggs has registered seven tackles (six solo) through the first three games of the regular season.
Sep 24, 2025
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Diggs (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited to 39 defensive snaps after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears. He was unable to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more opportunities to participate in at least a limited capacity heading into Sunday night's game against the Packers. Rookie seventh-rounder Trikweze Bridges (knee) would be -- if healthy -- the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Kaiir Elam if Diggs is not cleared to play.
Sep 21, 2025
Dealing with shoulder issue
Diggs (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest in Chicago, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs suffered a shoulder injury in the second half against the Bears, placing doubt on his ability to return. In his absence, Trikweze Bridges and C.J. Goodwin stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.
Sep 21, 2025
Good to go Sunday
Diggs (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against Chicago, Garrett Podell of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs dealt with an illness early this week and then popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Saturday due to a knee issue. He'll ultimately be able to suit up against the Bears and should take on his usual role as a starter at cornerback.
Sep 20, 2025
Pops up on injury report
Diggs (knee) was added to Dallas' injury report Saturday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough with an illness, but it's currently unclear how he picked up the knee injury, and he is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Bears. If he ends up being unable to play, C.J. Goodwin and Trikweze Bridges should be in line for increased playing time.
Sep 18, 2025
Gets in full practice
Diggs (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough session. Fresh off getting cooked by Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson last Sunday against the Giants, Diggs has a date with the Bears' wideout room of DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luther Burden this coming Sunday.
Sep 17, 2025
Absent from practice
Diggs (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs saw his snap rate jump to a normal level in Week 2 against the Giants, as he was on the field for 91 percent of defensive snaps. Though he begins the week unable to practice, there's no indication he's in danger of missing Dallas' Week 3 matchup against the Bears.
Sep 5, 2025
Plays just 27 defensive snaps
Diggs logged one solo tackle during Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was cleared to play Week 1 following his nine-month recovery from offseason surgery on his left knee. He played just 27 snaps on defense and was listed as a substitute for Thursday's regular-season opener, with DaRon Bland and Kaiir Elam named the starters and each playing all 63 defensive snaps. Diggs' lower snap count could indicate that he's not fully recovered from his surgery, but he should see more snaps in Week 2 against a Giants team that could look to air the ball out more with Russell Wilson under center.
Sep 1, 2025
Full practice Monday
Diggs (knee) was a full participant at the Cowboys' practice Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs is officially lined up to return to the field in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Eagles. The cornerback underwent left knee surgery in January, but he will avoid missing any action to open his sixth season in Dallas.
Sep 1, 2025
Trending toward playing Week 1
Diggs (knee) said Monday that there's a 75-80 percent chance he'll play Thursday against Philadelphia, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs underwent left knee surgery in January. Though he's mostly recovered from the procedure, his conditioning has prevented him from being a sure thing to start in the regular-season opener. It sounds like Diggs is pushing to be on the field against the Eagles, but if he ends up being unable to play, DaRon Bland may be asked to work more at outside cornerback rather than in the slot.
Sep 1, 2025
Full practice participant
Diggs (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's padded practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback avoided placement on the PUP list to begin the regular season as he completes his recovery from January knee surgery, but neither Diggs nor the Cowboys have committed yet to him being in the starting lineup for Week 1's clash with the Eagles. Diggs himself joked after the practice that he wanted to make his season debut "no later than Week 4" -- a reference to one of his best friends on the team, Micah Parsons, having just been traded to Green Bay, Dallas' Week 4 opponent -- but it seems likely he'll be on the field much sooner than that. If Diggs isn't ready for the season opener, the newly extended DaRon Bland would likely see more action at boundary corner rather than in the slot.
Aug 25, 2025
Aiming to start Week 1
Diggs said Monday that he has no limitations physically, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's no longer the condition of Diggs' knee that would prevent him from playing in Week 1 at Philadelphia, but now rather that his extended absence from team activities going back to Week 15 of last season may have taken a toll on his conditioning and left him with a layer of rust. The Cowboys are scheduled for the NFL season opener next Thursday, leaving Diggs with relatively little time to get back up to speed. It's possible that Dallas opts to ease their $97 million corner back into action rather than throwing him into the deep end as soon as regular-season play begins.
Aug 24, 2025
Ready to return to practice
Diggs (knee) passed his physical Sunday and has been reinstated from the active/PUP list, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has spent the offseason rehabbing from left knee surgery that he underwent in January. He started training camp on the PUP list, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to pass his physical and has been given the green light to return to practice. There's no guarantee that Diggs will be cleared to play in the Cowboys' regular-season opener against the Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 4, so his practice participation over the next two weeks will be worth monitoring. Kaiir Elam and Andrew Booth both started at corner in the Cowboys' first two preseason games and figure to be the frontrunners to start at outside corner opposite DaRon Bland if Diggs doesn't suit up for Week 1.
Aug 23, 2025
Not ruling out Week 1
Diggs (knee) continues to accelerate his rehab work and wouldn't rule out being in the lineup Week 1 against the Eagles when asked Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The star cornerback is making his way back from January knee surgery. Back in the spring and early summer, a lengthy absence to begin the season seemed almost certain for Diggs, but his progress suggests he might be able to miss fewer than the minimum four games that would be required if he were to remain on the PUP list. The Cowboys could use him back as quickly as possible given all their other injuries in the secondary, but the team isn't likely to jeopardize Diggs' long-term health by rushing him back in 2025.
Jul 28, 2025
Aiming for September return
Diggs (knee) says he's ahead of schedule in his recovery process and aiming for a September return, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback opened training camp on the active/PUP list after undergoing surgery to repair a cartilage issue in the offseason. Last year, Diggs dealt with foot, ankle, calf, groin and knee issues that limited him to just 11 games, and in 2023, he tore his ACL after just two contests. If the 2021 All-Pro can meet his goal, he should be in line for a starting spot.
Jul 22, 2025
Starts camp on PUP list
The Cowboys placed Diggs (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed the final four games of the regular season last year and six of the final seven contests. He required surgery to fix a cartilage issue in the knee and is being eased back into action. Diggs and DaRon Bland should handle starting cornerback duties this season in Dallas.
May 1, 2025
Expected to open camp on PUP list
Diggs (knee) is likely to open training camp on the PUP list after undergoing surgery for a cartilage issue in January, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday that he doesn't want Diggs to miss time during the rehab process, per Watkins. Diggs suffered a torn ACL during Week 3 of the 2023 season and left Dallas during that rehab process, though he still recovered in time to start the 2024 campaign before dealing with foot, ankle, calf and groin issues, as well as the knee cartilage injury that ultimately ended his season. The cornerback recorded 11 pass breakups, including two interceptions, last year in the 11 games he managed to play in.
Apr 9, 2025
In doubt for start of season
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said last week that there's a "good chance" Diggs (knee) "may not be available" come Week 1, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs had surgery in late January to address a cartilage injury to the same left knee in which he suffered an ACL tear in Sept. 2023. He returned from the ACL surgery to play 11 games last season, including each of the Cowboys' first 10 games, fighting through foot, ankle and calf injuries before a groin injury finally sidelined him. He returned after missing two weeks, only to suffer the season-ending knee cartilage injury during his first game back. He's now facing a lengthy rehab from a surgery that took place seven and a half months before Week 1
Jan 23, 2025
Undergoes procedure on knee
Diggs underwent surgery on his left knee Sunday, and his recovery timeline could keep him out for the beginning of training camp in July, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was placed on injured reserve Dec. 21 due to a left knee injury. He was slated to undergo surgery in late December, but Archer relays that the delay had to due with a more modern procedure on micro-fracture surgeries. Regardless, Diggs has a lengthy recovery timeline ahead of him, and it appears that he will not be at full health for the start of training camp. The 2020 second-round pick finished the 2024 regular season with 42 tackles (35 solo) and 11 pass defenses (including two interceptions) across 11 games.
Dec 21, 2024
Headed to IR
The Cowboys placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been dealing with a bevy of injuries this season that have limited his availability, and he's slated to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a knee cartilage issue. The 26-year-old still doesn't have a date set for when he'll undergo this procedure, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com. No matter what, he's expected to have a long recovery timeline, which could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. In 11 games this season, Diggs totaled 52 tackles and 11 passes defended, including two interceptions. DaRon Bland and Amani Oruwariye should slot in as Dallas' starting cornerbacks for the final three games of this season.
Dec 16, 2024
Long recovery ahead
Diggs will undergo surgery this week to repair a knee cartilage injury and his recovery could take up to eight months, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' initial timeline could have him missing most of training camp, and possibly the start of next season, if he suffers any setbacks. The 26-year-old finished his season with 42 combined tackles and 11 passes defended, including two interceptions in 11 games.
Dec 14, 2024
Set for season-ending surgery
Diggs (knee) is expected to undergo surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign, per The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
Prior to this news, Diggs had already been ruled out for Sunday's clash against Carolina, which will mark his third absence in four weeks. He's been a mainstay on Dallas' injury report his season having also dealt with foot, ankle, calf and groin issues throughout the campaign. Diggs' season comes to a sudden end after just 11 games, during which he tallied 42 tackles and 11 pass defenses (including two interceptions). The 26-year-old cornerback missed the Cowboys' final 15 regular-season games last year due to a torn ACL after signing a five-year contract extension in July of 2023.
Dec 14, 2024
Downgraded to out for Sunday
Diggs (knee) won't play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against Carolina, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was deemed questionable to face the Panthers on Dallas' injury report Friday, but he's since been ruled out. The veteran cornerback will thus miss his third game in the four weeks -- Diggs was able to suit up Monday against Cincinnati and played all of the Cowboys' defensive snaps, but he apparently isn't past his knee issue. Andrew Booth and/or Amani Oruwariye could be asked to step up in Diggs' stead Sunday.
Dec 13, 2024
Questionable for Week 15
Diggs (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Alabama product played through his knee injury in Dallas' Week 14 loss to the Bengals, recording five total tackles and three passes defended over 65 defensive snaps. He practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday but downgraded to an estimated DNP on Friday, which suggests he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Week 15. If Diggs is able to suit up Sunday, he'll serve as one of Dallas' starting outside cornerbacks.
Dec 11, 2024
Limited to begin practice week
Diggs (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs returned from a two-game absence Monday versus Cincinnati and played every one of Dallas' defensive snaps, finishing with five tackles and three pass defenses. His designation of limited Wednesday may simply reflect that he's not 100 percent recovered from the knee issue. Diggs' practice participation the rest of the week should help clarify whether he's in any danger of missing Sunday's contest against Carolina.
Dec 9, 2024
Officially set to return Week 14
Diggs (knee/groin) is active against the Bengals for Monday Night Football, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs will return to game action for the first time since Week 11 after missing a pair of contests due to groin and knee injuries. His ability to suit up Monday comes at a good time, as Josh Butler -- who had been filling in as a starting cornerback -- was placed on injured reserve Monday due to a torn ACL. Diggs will face a tough challenge in his first game back as he tries to slow down Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and a Bengals air attack helmed by Joe Burrow.
Dec 7, 2024
Questionable for Week 14
Diggs (knee) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has missed the Cowboys' last two games due to knee and groin injuries. He was limited in practice all week, which earned him the questionable tag heading into Monday night's game. In the 10 regular-season games prior to his injury, Diggs logged 37 tackles (30 solo) and eight pass defenses (including two interceptions). If Diggs is unable to play, C.J. Goodwin would be slated to serve as the Cowboys' second starting outside corner opposite DaRon Bland.
Dec 5, 2024
Limited in practice Thursday
Diggs (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been sidelined for the Cowboys' last two games due to knee and groin injuries. He appears to be over the groin issue, but his knee limited in Thursday's practice. Diggs will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Bengals.
Nov 29, 2024
Could return for Week 14
Head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that the extra rest following the Cowboys' Thanksgiving game win the Giants on Thursday could help Diggs (groin) be available for Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday, Dec. 9, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has missed the Cowboys' last two games due to a groin injury. His chances to return for Week 14 would significantly increase if he's able to log some full practices in the lead up to that game. In the 10 regular-season games prior to his injury, Diggs logged 37 tackles (30 solo) and eight pass defenses (including two interceptions).
Nov 28, 2024
Inactive again in Week 13
Diggs (groin/knee) is inactive for Thursday's game versus the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited at Monday's walkthrough, missed the walkthrough one day later and then practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday as he tended to groin and knee issues. Despite getting in some work, he'll sit out a second contest in a row. Diggs' next chance to suit up arrives Monday, Dec. 9 against the Bengals.
Nov 27, 2024
Listed as questionable for Week 13
Diggs (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was unable to play against the Commanders this past Sunday due to a groin injury. He didn't participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, but he's given himself a chance to play Thursday after practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday. Diggs' official status won't likely be known until about 90 minutes before Thursday's 4:30 p.m. kickoff.
Nov 26, 2024
Estimated as DNP
Diggs (groin) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was unable to play in Week 12 against the Commanders due to a groin injury. The 2020 second-round pick will need to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday in order to have a chance at playing against the Giants on Thursday. If Diggs doesn't suit up, DaRon Bland and Josh Butler would serve as the Cowboys' starting outside corners.
Nov 23, 2024
Won't play vs. Commanders
Diggs (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was first listed on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday due to knee and groin injuries, which limited his practice participation in each of the last two sessions of the week. Diggs was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC East clash, but he will not travel with the team to Washington, and his next chance to play will be in Week 13 against the Giants on Thursday, Nov. 28. The Cowboys will be getting reinforcements in the secondary in the form of cornerback DaRon Bland, who will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday after missing Dallas' first 10 games due to a foot injury he suffered in late August.
Nov 22, 2024
Questionable for Week 12
Diggs (groin/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday with groin and knee issues, logging two consecutive limited sessions to end Dallas' week of practice. If he's able to suit up in Week 12, he'll start opposite DaRon Bland for the first time in 2024. However, if Diggs is sidelined Sunday for the first time this season, Caelen Carson will likely start in his place opposite Bland.
Nov 21, 2024
Working through multiple injuries
Diggs (groin/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs played through a calf injury in the Cowboys' last two games. He didn't show up on Wednesday's injury report with that same issue, but he now appears to be working through groin and knee injuries. Diggs' practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's NFC East showdown against the Commanders. Diggs has logged 14 tackles (11 solo) and five pass defenses (including one interceptions) across the Cowboys' last four regular-season games since the Week 7 bye.
Nov 10, 2024
Good to go for Week 10
Diggs (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was held out of Friday's practice due to an illness, but it isn't serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. He was limited in practice to start the week due to a calf injury, and while he'll suit up for Week 10, he's unlikely playing at 100 percent health.
Nov 10, 2024
Should play Sunday
Diggs (calf) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the calf injury before he was held out of Friday's session entirely due to an illness. He cleared up most of the concern about his overall health by taking part in Saturday's team walk-through session without issue, so he's expected to be officially cleared when Dallas releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
Nov 8, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Diggs (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Alabama product appears to be trending toward not playing Sunday, as he opened the Cowboys' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions before downgrading to a DNP on Friday. If Diggs is unable to play through his calf issue in Week 10, Caelen Carson and C.J. Goodwin will likely serve as the Cowboys' top outside corners.
Nov 6, 2024
Opens week as limited
Diggs (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs played through a partial tear in his calf this past Sunday against the Falcons, during which he played every single defensive snap and logged three tackles (one solo) and two pass breakups. Diggs will likely see his workload limited this week, and unless he suffers a major setback, he should suit up Sunday against the Eagles.
Nov 3, 2024
Active against Falcons
Diggs (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs is playing through a partial tear in his calf that has limited his ability to practice. However, he worked out on the field prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons and will be ready to suit up. Diggs' availability is a big boost for a Cowboys' defense that is already missing DaRon Bland (foot).
Nov 1, 2024
Game-time decision
Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that Diggs underwent rehab on his calf Friday and will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jerry Jones told reporters earlier Friday that Diggs hasn't practiced this week due to a partial tear in his calf, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. However, McCarthy's comments suggest that Diggs still has a chance to suit suit up in Week 9. If Diggs is unable to play Sunday, expect Caelen Carson and Andrew Booth to see increased work in the Cowboys' secondary.

Nursing calf injury
Diggs (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs played 63 defensive snaps during the Cowboys' Week 8 loss to the 49ers, and he finished that contest with five tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup. However, it appears he picked up a calf injury in the process, which caused him to be sidelined during Wednesday's practice session. Diggs will have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Oct 10, 2024
Stays on injury report
Diggs (illness) did not practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs practiced in full Wednesday, although he was still listed on the team's injury report. However, his illness brought him down to a DNP, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Lions in question. More clarity on his status could come Friday when the team practices again.
Oct 6, 2024
Good to go for Week 5
Diggs (ankle) is active for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' chances of playing Sunday appeared to be in jeopardy after popping up on Thursday's injury report and not practicing Friday. However, Diggs' ankle injury doesn't appear severe enough to keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. The Cowboys will be without starting corner Caelen Carson (shoulder).
Oct 5, 2024
In line to play Sunday
Diggs (ankle) is expected to suit up in Sunday's Week 5 game against Pittsburgh, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
ANALYSIS
Diggs popped up on the injury report with an ankle issue Thursday and didn't practice Friday. He was deemed questionable heading into the weekend, but it looks like he'll be able to suit up against the Steelers. That will be a big boost for a Cowboys secondary that could be missing cornerback Caelen Carson (shoulder) for a second straight week.
Oct 4, 2024
Deemed questionable for Week 5
Diggs (ankle) is questionable to face the Steelers on Sunday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs practiced in full Wednesday but appeared on the injury report as a limited participant Thursday. He was then held out of practice entirely Friday, putting his status for Sunday's contest in doubt. If Diggs isn't able to suit up against the Steelers, Andrew Booth will likely be asked to step into a starting role.
Oct 3, 2024
Pops up on injury report
Diggs was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session due to an ankle injury, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This appears to be a new injury for Diggs, as he was able to participate in full Wednesday. His participation during Friday's session will provide more clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers. If Diggs is unable to go for that contest, Andrew Booth would be the next man up at corner opposite starter Caelen Carson (shoulder).
Sep 26, 2024
Back in
Diggs (general soreness) is back in the game Thursday against the Giants, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback went to the locker room earlier in the fourth quarter due to dehydration and cramping. Diggs has two tackles (one solo) in the game and has been matching up with New York's top receiver, standout rookie Malik Nabers.
Sep 26, 2024
Questionable to return
Diggs (general soreness) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Giants, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback went to the locker room due to dehydration and cramping. Diggs made two tackles (one solo) and matched up with New York's stud rookie receiver, Malik Nabers, for much of the night before exiting. Andrew Booth is his backup.
Sep 20, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Diggs (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs upgraded from DNP Wednesday to limited Thursday and full participation Friday and has been cleared to go Sunday ahead of a date with Baltimore's wideout corps of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor. Diggs has 10 tackles (eight solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, through two games.
Sep 19, 2024
Upgrades to limited practice
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that Diggs (foot) will be limited in practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McCarthy said he's "not of high concern" with Diggs' availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens. The star cornerback wasn't able to practice in any capacity Wednesday, but he appears to be making progress. In each of Dallas' first two games of the season Diggs played nearly 90 percent of defensive snaps.
Sep 18, 2024
Pops up on injury report
Diggs (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs may have picked up the injury during the Cowboys' 44-19 loss to the Saints in Week 2. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3 against the Ravens. Diggs has accumulated 10 tackles (eight solo) and one interception over the first two games of the regular season.
Sep 9, 2024
Plucks INT in return to lineup
Diggs recorded five tackles (four solo) and two passes defended, including an interception, in Sunday's win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
He saw his 2023 season end in Week 2 due to a torn ACL, but Diggs was right back in ball-hawking form in his return to the Dallas secondary Sunday, picking off a Deshaun Watson pass midway through the fourth quarter. Diggs has 19 career INTs in 48 regular-season games, and while the scheme implemented by new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer may not be quite as aggressive as Dan Quinn's, the cornerback should still see plenty of opportunities to flip the field for the Cowboys.
Aug 21, 2024
Won't play in preseason finale
Diggs has returned to practice after completing his recovery from last year's ACL tear, but he won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Chargers, Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback appears to be 100 percent and picked off Dak Prescott during Tuesday's practice, but the Cowboys will still be cautious with Diggs. After getting injured in Week 2 of last season, the fifth-year ballhawk with 18 interceptions in 47 career NFL games should make his return to the lineup Sept. 8 in Cleveland as Dallas kicks off the regular season.
Jul 31, 2024
Past ACL tear
Diggs told reporters Wednesday that he's fully past the torn ACL that he sustained in September of 2023, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was activated off Dallas' active/PUP list Tuesday and after his comments regarding the state of his knee Wednesday, it appears he's moved past last year's ACL injury. The Alabama product also noted that the Cowboys are planning on working him back slowly, as he's such an important part of the team's defense. Diggs posted 111 tackles and 35 passes defended, including 14 interceptions from 2021-2022. He'll return to a Cowboys defense that already ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in interceptions (17) last season.
Jul 30, 2024
Back at practice
Diggs (knee) was reinstated from the active/PUP list by the Cowboys on Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs will be worked into practice "smartly" moving forward according to head coach Mike McCarthy. The cornerback is making his return to practice for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in September. Diggs will look to build up his workload over the coming weeks, while he seems unlikely to play any substantial amount of time, if any time at all, this preseason.
Jul 30, 2024
Back at practice
Diggs (knee) was reinstated from the active/PUP list by the Cowboys on Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs will be worked into practice "smartly" moving forward according to head coach Mike McCarthy. The cornerback is making his return to practice for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in September. Diggs will look to build up his workload over the coming weeks, while he seems unlikely to play any substantial amount of time, if any time at all, this preseason.
Jul 25, 2024
Officially lands on PUP list
The Cowboys placed Diggs (knee) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Archer also noted that Diggs' stay on the active/PUP list is not expected to be long, but he'll begin Dallas' camp there as he continues to recover from a torn ACL. Once the Alabama product is able to return to the field, the Cowboys should have one of the best cornerback duos in football, with DaRon Bland alongside Diggs.
Jun 5, 2024
Could start camp on PUP list
There's a real chance that Diggs (knee) begins Dallas' training camp on the PUP list, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Wednesday that Diggs "looks great" and is "in a good spot," despite potentially starting the Cowboys' training camp on the PUP list. The 25-year-old cornerback made back-to-back Pro Bowls before tearing his ACL just two games into Dallas' 2023 campaign. Once Diggs returns to form, he's expected to remain one of the top cornerbacks in the entire NFL.
May 22, 2024
Limited participant
Diggs will be working on the side as the Cowboys open OTAs on Wednesday, as he continues to recover from a torn ACL suffered last September, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs continues to recover from the injury that brought his 2023 campaign to an early end and will at least start OTAs by rehabbing the injury. It's unclear if Diggs will still be under any restrictions when training camp opens, but he is expected to be ready when the 2024 season kicks off.
Oct 25, 2023
Undergoes surgery to repair ACL
Diggs underwent surgery on his ruptured ACL on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
In another positive development for Diggs, doctors found that the other ligaments in his knee remained intact. He's on track to return next season, with Stephon Gilmore and DaRon Bland expected to continue to hold down Dallas' defensive backfield in the meantime.
Sep 23, 2023
Moved to IR
The Cowboys placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs sustained a torn ACL injury during Thursday's practice and is set to undergo season-ending surgery soon. With Diggs out for 2023, DaRon Bland is set to take on a starting role opposite veteran Stephon Gilmore while Jourdan Lewis -- who returned in Week 2 from a Lisfranc injury he sustained in October -- is slated to assume the slot corner role.
Sep 21, 2023
MRI confirms ACL tear
Diggs was confirmed to have suffered a season-ending torn ACL after undergoing an MRI on his left knee following his early exit from practice Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year cornerback had played a vital role in the Dallas defense's spectacular start to the season, forcing two turnovers while breaking up three passes through the first two contests. However, after going down with the knee injury during Thursday's practice and suffering from ligament damage, Diggs will soon undergo season-ending surgery. Jane Slater of NFL Network relays that the Cowboys plan to cover for Diggs' absence by moving DaRon Bland to the boundary corner spot opposite Stephon Gilmore, while Jourdan Lewis likely takes over as Dallas' slot corner.
Sep 21, 2023
Torn ACL feared
The Cowboys fear that Diggs suffered a torn ACL after he exited Thursday's practice with a knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs sustained the injury in a 1-on-1 drill during the early portion of practice and was spotted moving about with crutches as he exited the Cowboys' team facility. He's expected to undergo an MRI later Thursday or early Friday, and if his medical tests confirm the Cowboys' worst fears, he'll be lost for the season. Even if the MRI yields more favorable news, Diggs still seems likely to miss this Sunday's game at Arizona, at a minimum. For however long Diggs is sidelined, Daron Bland and Jourdan Lewis should be primed to step into larger roles in the Dallas secondary.
Sep 21, 2023
Exits practice with knee injury
Diggs suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice and is set to undergo an MRI, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Diggs' injury won't be known until the results of the MRI are read, but his status for Sunday's game in Arizona -- and potentially beyond -- is uncertain after he was spotted exiting the Cowboys' facility while using crutches to move about. Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Diggs' injury occurred during the 1-on-1 period early on during Thursday's session. The fourth-year cornerback has gotten off to a solid start to the 2023 campaign, recording four tackles, breaking up three passes and forcing two turnovers (an interception and a forced fumble) through Dallas' first two games.
Sep 19, 2023
Picks off pass in win
Diggs recorded a solo tackle while intercepting a pass and deflecting two others in the Cowboys' 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was able to pick off Zach Wilson in the fourth quarter, notching his first interception of the year. The cornerback came into this season with 17 career interceptions over his first three campaigns in Dallas and he'll look to build off of Sunday's strong contest moving forward.
Aug 1, 2023
Full go Tuesday
Diggs (toe) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs participated in team drills Tuesday for the first time since his contract extension and is healthy ahead of preseason action after dealing with a minor toe issue. The Pro Bowl corner has 17 interceptions in his first three NFL campaigns and is a key piece of Dallas' elite defense.
Aug 1, 2023
Making progress
Diggs (toe) was still doing individual drills in practice Monday, but he's making steps on his road to recovery, Casey Smith of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The plan for Diggs is to work him back slowly, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Smith notes that Diggs looked near 100 percent in his individual workouts Monday, but there's certainly no reason for the Cowboys to rush him back. The Pro Bowl corner will continue ramping up his participation level and is expected to be ready for full activity before Week 1.
Jul 29, 2023
Set to return next week
Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Saturday that Diggs (toe) should be able to participate in practices next week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Archer noted that Diggs spent the last two days rehabbing on the sideline in his cleats and all signs point to him returning to training camp practices in the upcoming week. Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million extension Tuesday that includes a $21.25 million signing bonus, making him one of the highest-paid corners in the league. Diggs put together a solid 2022 season with 59 tackles, 14 pass deflections, three interceptions and a fumble recovery in 17 games. He's an integral piece to a Cowboys defense that finished first in turnovers (33) and seventh in interceptions (16) last season.
Jul 25, 2023
Signing five-year extension
Diggs is signing a five-year extension with the Cowboys, de reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2020 second-round pick had 11 interceptions in his second pro season and turned in another solid campaign last year -- 59 tackles, 14 passes defensed, three INTs -- as one of the top players on one of the league's best defenses. Diggs has faced criticism for taking risks and focusing on interceptions over lockdown coverage, but the wins have been much more noticeable than the losses so far. The Cowboys expect that to continue after making the 25-year-old one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.
Jan 31, 2023
Only three picks in 2022
Diggs recorded 59 tackles (50 solo) and three interceptions on 14 passes defended, plus a forced fumble, over 17 regular-season games in 2022.
ANALYSIS
The third-year cornerback wasn't able to repeat his turnover magic from the year before, when he turned 21 passes defended into an incredible 11 INTs, but Diggs also allowed 349 fewer passing yards and 2.6 fewer yards per attempt in coverage. With one more year remaining on his rookie contract, the Cowboys may look to lock up their No. 1 corner with an extension this offseason, but if not he'll be playing in 2023 for a free-agent payday the following spring.
Dec 24, 2022
Officially suiting up Saturday
Diggs (illness) has been deemed active for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed practice Thursday after popping up with an illness, though this won't keep him from suiting up for Saturday's divisional matchup. The third-year cornerback figures to be assigned with one of his toughest tasks of the season while facing Eagles No. 1 wideout A.J. Brown.
Dec 24, 2022
Looks on track to play
Diggs (illness), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, is trending toward playing, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed the Cowboys' final practice of the week Thursday due to the illness, but he's apparently feeling healthier as Saturday's 4:25 p.m. kickoff approaches. Assuming Diggs avoids the Cowboys' inactive list, he should be able to fill his usual role as Dallas' No. 1 cornerback and could be tasked with trying to slow down Eagles standout receiver A.J. Brown for most of the day.
Dec 22, 2022
Weekend availability uncertain
Diggs (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs popped up on the injury report and failed to practice Thursday with an apparent illness, ultimately leaving his Week 16 availability versus Philadelphia in jeopardy. Though a divisional matchup at home late in the season seems like an occasion that Diggs would do everything in his power not to miss, Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright would nonetheless be in line for additional secondary snaps behind starter DaRon Bland should last year's interception leader ultimately be sidelined Saturday.
Dec 14, 2022
Not on injury report
Diggs (thumb) is absent from the Cowboys' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs injured both of his thumbs in Dallas' 27-23 victory over the Texans on Sunday, but it looks like the issue is not considered serious. Look for him to resume his role at cornerback assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Dec 11, 2022
Banged up Sunnday
Diggs suffered injuries to both thumbs in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs said his first thumb injury occurred on the second drive of the game, but he was able to tape it up and keep playing, according to Slater. It's unclear when the second thumb injury occurred and if it'll impact his ability to play Week 15 against the Jaguars. His practice status in the days ahead should shed a better light on it.
Dec 11, 2022
Returns versus Houston
Diggs (thumb) has returned to Sunday's game against the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was forced out after injury his left thumb at some point in the first half. The starting cornerback temporarily spent time in the locker room, but he was able to return before the end of the first half. Diggs recorded 43 tackles, 13 passes defended and three interceptions coming into Week 14, and he should reprise his role as Dallas' top cornerback for the remainder of this contest.
Dec 11, 2022
Heads to locker room with injury
Diggs is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans with a left thumb injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs did not record a statistic before exiting during the first half. While the exact nature of this injury is still unclear, the 25-year-old was seen heading to the locker room shortly after he left the game, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. With fellow top cornerbacks Anthony Brown (Achilles) and Jourdan Lewis (foot) both out for the season on IR, expect DaRon Bland and Kelvin Joseph to step up into bigger roles Sunday.
Dec 4, 2022
Active in Week 13
Diggs (illness) is listed as active Sunday versus the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was able to log just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 13 prep due to an illness. However, coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Jon Machota of The Athletic on Friday that he expected Diggs to be available Sunday, which has come to pass. The shut-down corner thus will look to build upon the 42 tackles and three interceptions that he's compiled through 11 games this season.
Dec 2, 2022
Expected to play Sunday
Diggs (illness) is listed as questionable but expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed the first two practices of Week 13 prep due to an illness but returned Friday as a limited participant. Despite the questionable designations, Machota relayed that Diggs, Michael Gallup (illness) and Jayron Kearse (shoulder) are all expected to suit up Sunday night.
Dec 1, 2022
Remains sidelined Thursday
Diggs (illness) did not practice Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs missed his second practice in a row after coming down with an illness Week 13, and he'll have just one more opportunity to increase his activity before Sunday's game against the Colts. The 25-year-old has recorded 42 tackles and a team-high 13 passes defended and three interceptions this season, so his potential absence would leave C.J. Goodwin and Kelvin Joseph with big shoes to fill alongside starting cornerback Anthony Brown.
Nov 30, 2022
Sidelined due to illness
Diggs didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs and Michael Gallup were both sidelined to start Week 13 prep due to an illness that is apparently making the rounds around Dallas' locker room. The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but the star cornerback will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's primetime matchup against the Colts.
Nov 28, 2022
Records seven tackles
Diggs posted seven tackles (six solo) during the Cowboys' 28-20 win over the Giants on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been somewhat inconsistent early in the season, but he came within one tackle of matching his season high during the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day victory. Over his three appearances since the team's Week 9 bye, he's logged 15 tackles (12 solo) and a pass defense.
Oct 11, 2022
Six solo tackles in win
Diggs notched six solo tackles during Sunday's 22-10 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Diggs set a season high with six tackles and now has 15 stops, nine pass defenses and two interceptions across five games. The 2020 second-round pick has blossomed into one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but he's extremely reliant on his ball-hawking skills both in terms of his production on the field and in fantasy.
Sep 26, 2022
Returns after halftime evaluation
Diggs was cleared to return after undergoing a cognitive evaluation during Monday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was evaluated for a potential concussion late in the second quarter, but he was ruled eligible to return for the second half. The third-year cornerback recorded two passes defended in the first half.
Jan 12, 2022
Healthy for playoffs
Diggs returned to practice Wednesday after missing Week 18, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback missed the Cowboys' Week 18 victory over the Eagles while dealing with a non-COVID illness, but he returned to practice Wednesday, clearing any concern over his availability for the team's Wild Card matchup with the 49ers on Sunday. Diggs put together a remarkable second season in 2021, intercepting an NFL-leading 11 passes and will look to continue the steller play in the playoffs.
Jan 7, 2022
Won't play Sunday
Diggs (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs misses out on his shot to pick off a dozen passes, though his 11 interceptions this season are the most since fellow Cowboys Everson Walls had the same number in 1981. The downgrade for Diggs is an upgrade for the Eagles' passing game, especially QB Jalen Hurts and WR DeVonta Smith, though there is some question about workloads for starters with both NFC East rivals locked in for playoff spots. While Diggs clearly isn't feeling well given that he missed practice all week, he'll likely recover from his non-COVID illness in time for the Cowboys' first playoff game.
Jan 6, 2022
Questionable for Saturday
Diggs (illness) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback was unable to practice this week while battling a non-COVID illness, putting his availability for Saturday's matchup with the Eagles in question. Diggs still has one more day to rest up but if he can't play, Kelvin Joseph would be in line for a starting spot in the Cowboys' secondary.
Dec 29, 2021
Secures 11th interception
Diggs had two solo tackles and an interception during Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Diggs wasted little time getting involved Sunday, as he picked off Taylor Heinicke on a deep ball down the right sideline on Washington's first play from scrimmage. The 2020 second-round pick is the first player to record at least 11 interceptions in a season since 1981, and he's within striking distance of the all-time, single-season record of 14 picks, which was set in 1952 by Dick "Night Train" Lane.
Dec 20, 2021
Reaches double-digit picks
Diggs recorded four tackles (three solo) and two passes defended, including his 10th interception of the season, in Sunday's win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
He was mostly matched up against Kenny Golladay, and Diggs helped limit the Giants' No. 1 wideout to only three catches on seven targets. His pick, the third of the day for the Dallas defense, came in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter and squashed New York's last gasp at a comeback. Diggs not only leads the NFL in INTs, three ahead of the Patriots' J.C. Jackson, he's one away from tying the Cowboys' franchise record for a season of 11, set in 1981 by Everson Walls.
Nov 15, 2021
Secures another interception
Diggs had two tackles (one solo) and an interception during Sunday's 433-3 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was without an interception in the previous two games, but he grabbed his league-leading eighth pick of the season during the second quarter off Matt Ryan. The 2020 second-round pick also has 28 tackles (24 solo) and 13 passes defensed through nine games.
Nov 3, 2021
Records full practice Wednesday
Diggs (ankle) logged a full practice Wednesday for the Cowboys and is expected to play Sunday against the Broncos, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs suffered a sprained right ankle during the Cowboys' narrow victory over the Vikings on Sunday night. The cornerback avoided a serious injury and is expected to be available for the Cowboys' Week 9 tilt with Denver. Expect Nashon Wright to take over for Diggs if he suffers any setbacks and is unable to suit up.
Nov 1, 2021
Avoids serious injury
Diggs was re-evaluated Monday and should be fine after suffering a sprained ankle during the Cowboys' 20-16 win over the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was dealing with an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he was able to suit up without a designation. Though he started and played all but two of the Cowboys' defensive snaps during the contest, he apparently tweaked the ankle at some point. However, he appears to have avoided a serious injury and will likely be available for Dallas' Week 9 clash with the Broncos.
Nov 1, 2021
Sprains ankle in win
Diggs sustained a sprained right ankle Sunday in the Cowboys' 20-16 win over the Vikings and is scheduled to be re-evaluated Monday, Jori Epstein of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday while tending to an ankle injury, but he was able to gain clearance ahead of the Week 8 contest without a designation. Though he started and played all but two of the Cowboys' defensive snaps in the contest, Diggs apparently tweaked the ankle at some point along the way. He also saw his six-game interception streak come to an end, though Diggs and the Dallas pass defense did an excellent job in limiting Justin Jefferson (2-21-0 receiving line on four targets) and Adam Thielen (6-78-1-9). Diggs' upcoming evaluation should shed light on whether he's at risk of missing next weekend's game against the Broncos.
Oct 29, 2021
Expects to play Sunday
Diggs (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of the Cowboys' Sunday night contest against the Vikings, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to record a full practice Friday. The cornerback shouldn't be limited in what could be a difficult matchup against an explosive Vikings receiving group. Expect Nahshon Wright to see extended snaps if Diggs faces any setbacks.
Oct 27, 2021
Limited practice Wednesday
Diggs (ankle) was a limited participant at the Cowboys' practice Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback was able to play in Week 6 against the Patriots with the injury, so he's likely to play Sunday versus the Vikings. The limited practice to open the week is a good sign for his availability and Diggs is set to matchup with Justin Jefferson in Week 8.
Oct 18, 2021
Keeps re-writing record book
Diggs recorded five tackles and returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
That's now seven INTs in six games to begin the season for the second-year cornerback, tying Rod Woodson's Super Bowl-era record set in 1993, and Diggs is only the second player in history (after Minnesota's Brian Russell in 2003) with a pick in each of their team's first six games. Sunday's pick-six was already Diggs' second of the year, and remarkably he now has more TDs than his brother, Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs -- although Stefon will get a chance to fix that Monday night as his Bills take on the Titans. Trevon's emergence as the league's premier ballhawk has been one of the biggest factors in a remarkable turnaround for the Dallas defense as a whole.
Oct 17, 2021
Active as expected
Diggs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Diggs logged only a limited practice Friday, but that will be enough for him to suit up. He has made a tremendous impact early this season, picking off six passes through five games.
Oct 17, 2021
In line to play Sunday
Diggs (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
One of the early frontrunners for NFC Defensive Player of the Year honors with an NFL-best six interceptions to go with 10 pass breakups and 18 tackles through five games, Diggs looks like he'll be able to play through the ankle concern Week 6. Those planning on including Diggs in lineups in IDP leagues will still want to confirm that he isn't part of the Cowboys' inactive list, which will be released approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Considered game-time decision
Diggs (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It was reported Thursday that Diggs is trending in the right direction for Week 6, but it looks like a final word on the cornerback's status will come down to the wire. Diggs has transformed into one of Dallas' top playmakers on defense, so the team may feel incentivized to take a cautious approach when it comes to his health.
Oct 14, 2021
No practice, will play
Diggs (ankle) did not practice Thursday but is still expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The ankle injury has kept Diggs from practicing so far this week, though it was raining Thursday so it's possible the team was being cautious. More importantly, head coach Mike McCarthy noted that the issue is unlikely to impact Diggs' status for Sunday. Diggs has had a tremendous start to the season, logging six interceptions, 10 passes defended and 18 total tackles in five contests this season.
Oct 13, 2021
Non-participant Wednesday
Diggs didn't participate at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Diggs dealt with a back issue earlier in October and is now missing practice due to the ankle injury. It's unclear if the 24-year-old, who leads the NFL with six interceptions, will be able to return to practice Thursday or Friday.
Oct 11, 2021
Picks keep coming
Diggs recorded five tackles (three solo) and two passes defended, including his sixth interception of the season, in Sunday's win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Incredibly, Diggs nearly had another pick earlier in the game as he made a spectacular leap near the sideline to get his hands on a Daniel Jones pass, only to land out of bounds. The second-year corner is only the second player in Cowboys history to record an interception in five straight games to begin a season, joining Don Bishop in 1961. Moreover, if he can snatch one off Patriots' rookie Mac Jones in Week 6, Diggs will tie the NFL record for longest INT streak at six games -- a record held by, among others, legendary Dallas coach Tom Landry during his playing days with the Giants. At some point, the opposition might stop throwing in Diggs' direction entirely, but until then, he'll continue putting together a breakout campaign.
Oct 6, 2021
Full participant Wednesday
Diggs (back) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs exited Sunday's win over the Panthers due to the back injury, but he was back at practice with no limitations Wednesday. The 2020 second-round pick has enjoyed a breakout early this season with five interceptions through four games.
Oct 3, 2021
Exits with back issue
Diggs left Sunday's game against the Panthers with back tightness, NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs' fourth-quarter departure was precautionary, per coach Mike McCarthy. The star cornerback could have returned if necessary, but the Cowboys had built a big lead. The 24-year-old had four tackles and two interceptions before he called it quits for the day. He'll likely undergo more tests Monday.
Sep 28, 2021
Pick-six in big win
Diggs recorded two tackles and three passes defended, including one that he intercepted and returned 59 yards for his first career NFL touchdown in Monday's 41-21 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
With Philly trying to get back into the game on the first possession of the second half, Jalen Hurts looked DeVonta Smith's way on an out route, but the receiver stumbled and Diggs smoothly stepped in front of the pass with nothing but open field in front of him down the sideline. The second-year cornerback is emerging as the difference-maker the Cowboys envisioned when they selected him with the 51st overall pick in the 2020 draft, and Diggs has an interception in three straight games to begin the season -- already matching his total through 12 games as a rookie.
Sep 22, 2021
Notches another INT
Diggs posted six solo tackles, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has now picked off Tom Brady and Justin Herbert in back-to-back weeks. The 2020 second-round pick out of Alabama made significant strides this offseason and is now the anchor of Dallas' secondary.. He'll be tasked with covering DeVonta Smith or Jalen Reagor in Week 3 against the Eagles.
Jan 18, 2021
Shows flashes when healthy
Diggs recorded 58 tackles (49 solo) with 14 passes defended, three interceptions, a sack and a forced fumble over 12 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
A second-round pick in the 2020 draft, Diggs lost four games in the second half to a foot injury, but as often as not when he was on the field he was the Cowboys' best cornerback -- although that was a fairly low bar to clear for one of the league's worst defenses. Incoming defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will have a lot of work to do rebuilding the unit, but Diggs figures to be one of the key pieces for the Dallas defense in 2021.
Dec 19, 2020
Comes off injured reserve
The Cowboys activated Diggs (foot) from IR on Saturday, The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick's return to the lineup should be a notable boost for Dallas' secondary, though the Cowboys may feel the need to ease him back into action. Diggs hasn't played since Week 9 due to a fractured bone in his foot.
Dec 19, 2020
Expected to come off IR
The Cowboys are expected to activate Diggs (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has missed four games due to a fractured bone in his foot, but it looks like he could be available against the 49ers on Sunday. The rookie first-round pick played a 50-70 defensive snaps per game when healthy, but the Cowboys could opt to ease him back into action upon his return.
Dec 16, 2020
Designated for return
Diggs (foot) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
This move will allow the cornerback to practice, and Dallas can put Diggs back on the active roster any time it deems him ready over the next three weeks. If he hits the ground running in his return, Diggs could play as soon as Sunday against the 49ers.
Dec 14, 2020
Practice return on horizon
Coach Mike McCarthy said that Diggs (foot) will "hopefully" be able to return to practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Alabama product suffered a fractured bone in his foot Nov. 8 during a matchup against the Steelers, but Diggs is now approaching the 4-to-6 recovery time required of this type of injury. A date for Diggs' potential return to game action remains to be set, and he is still currently residing on IR. However, the possibility of resuming practice signals the 22-year-old may have an opportunity to garner more game experience over the tail-end of 2020.
Nov 23, 2020
Could return in 2020
Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Diggs "definitely has a chance" to return this year, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs suffered a hairline fracture in his foot Nov. 8, an injury that typically requires a 4-to-6 week recovery. It's encouraging that McCarthy has given the rookie cornerback his vote of confidence, but foot fractures can be tricky. For the time being, Anthony Brown (ankle), Jourdan Lewis and Chidobe Awuzie will handle the reps at cornerback. Diggs won't be eligible to return until a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals due to the league's IR rules.
Nov 18, 2020
Placed on IR
Diggs (foot) was placed on IR on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
A week and a half has passed since Diggs was given a 4-to-6 week return timetable due to a fractured bone in his foot, so this move comes as no surprise. In the best case scenario, Diggs would be eligible to rejoin his teammates on the field in Week 14 against the Bengals at the earliest.
Nov 10, 2020
Likely IR bound with fractured foot
Diggs is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a fractured bone in his left foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He won't require surgery to address the injury, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Though the beleaguered Cowboys defense turned in one of its best outings of the season in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers, the foot injury Diggs picked up in the game leaves a struggling Dallas secondary even more vulnerable. While Diggs has been far from a shutdown corner during his rookie season, he had emerged as a useful IDP option thanks to his high tackle counts. The second-round pick has played 557 of a possible 596 defensive plays this season, tallying 48 tackles, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one sack. Based on the projected timeline for his recovery, Diggs looks like he could be in danger of missing the rest of the season.
Nov 8, 2020
Leaves with foot injury
Diggs is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a left foot injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was forced off the field late in the fourth quarter, so if he doesn't return Sunday it won't necessarily indicate that his injury was too serious to play through. The rookie second-round pick has been a near every-down player in Dallas' secondary, so his presence will be difficult to replace against Pittsburgh's dangerous collection of receivers.
Nov 2, 2020
Picks off Wentz twice in loss
Diggs led the Cowboys with seven tackles (six solo) and recorded his first two career interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Carson Wentz tried to make a point of picking on the rookie corner, but Diggs made him pay with two spectacular INTs, one in the end zone on a pass intended for Jalen Reagor and the other at the goal line on a bomb directed at John Hightower. Diggs is still prone to rookie lapses and is far from shutdown status, but Stefon's little brother was able to flash the upside that made him a second-round selection in this year's draft. Expect Diggs, and the entire Dallas secondary, to be busy in Week 9 against a Steelers offense with a deep and dangerous array of targets at Ben Roethlisberger's disposal.
Oct 5, 2020
Notches first career sack
Diggs posted eight tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Diggs battled a shoulder injury throughout the practice week but still played all 75 defensive snaps and finished second on the team in tackles. He now has 26 tackels, a sack, two pass breakups and a forced fumble through four games. The rookie second-rounder has shown some intriguing flashes so far, but he's allowed an overall 113.2 passer rating when targeted.
Oct 4, 2020
Active against Browns
Diggs (shoulder) is active Week 4 against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Diggs has been a major part of the Dallas defensive scheme through each of the first three games, and despite being limited in practice most of the week, it appears he'll be back for his regular role. The second-round pick is coming off a career-best single-game tackle total (9) Week 3 against the Seahawks.
Oct 2, 2020
Questionable versus Cleveland
Diggs (shoulder/knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Owner Jerry Jones said earlier Friday that he expects the 22-year-old to play this weekend, but he was unable to avoid the injury designation. Diggs has played every defensive snap through three games, so his availability or lack thereof is significant given Dallas' struggles in pass defense.
Oct 2, 2020
Expected to face Browns
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that he expects Diggs (shoulder) to suit up against Cleveland on Sunday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick has played an every-down role on defense through his first three career games, and it looks as though the Cowboys expect him to start again versus Cleveland. Dallas has struggled to contain opposing wide receivers through the early portion of the 2020 season, and the team will face a potent tandem in Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry on Sunday.
Oct 1, 2020
Limited Thursday
Diggs (shoulder/knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session, David Helman of The Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie cornerback is seemingly trending in the wrong direction for Week 4, but at least he has been able to get on the field in some capacity for consecutive days. Even taking on a Cleveland offense Sunday that ranks No. 2 in the NFL with a 52.7 percent rush rate, the Browns do offer a pair of potent perimeter targets between Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry. The Cowboys have allowed 607 receiving yards to opposing wideouts (fourth-most) as well as an NFL-high seven touchdowns to the position, meaning that Dallas could use all the help it can get in the secondary.
Sep 24, 2020
Should be available Sunday
Diggs (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is expected to start against Seattle on Sunday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but barring any setbacks he now looks on track to suit up Week 3. The rookie second-round pick performed well as an every-down starter in Dallas' secondary thus far, but he'll now face the difficult task of containing a red hot Russell Wilson, who is averaging over 300 passing yards and 4.5 touchdowns per game through two weeks.
Sep 23, 2020
Managing shoulder injury
Diggs did not practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick has been impressive out of the gate for Dallas, having handled 100 percent of defensive snaps through two contests, so it would be a significant blow for the secondary if he were forced to miss time. Diggs will have two more chances to up his practice activity prior to Sunday's contest in Seattle.
