Dallas Cowboys' Star Cornerback Trevon Diggs Enters Concussion Protocol Ahead Commanders Game

The Dallas Cowboys secured a strong 44-22 victory over the Washington Commanders, despite missing star cornerback Trevon Diggs due to a concussion sustained in an off-field accident. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism about Diggs' recovery, expecting him to return soon after completing concussion protocol. The Cowboys have faced defensive challenges, compounded by the recent departure of linebacker Micah Parsons and Diggs' absence, which has left their defense vulnerable. On offense, quarterback Dak Prescott has performed well despite injuries to key receivers, with wide receiver Jonathan Mingo still sidelined due to a PCL sprain and unlikely to play against Washington. The Cowboys remain in contention for the NFC East title, especially after the division-leading Eagles suffered consecutive losses, making the upcoming games critical. Former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant recently reunited with the team, adding a nostalgic boost to the franchise's atmosphere.
