Trevon Diggs' Season Ends with Knee Surgery

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season due to a knee injury requiring surgery, marking another significant loss for the injury-laden team. Despite playing in 11 games this season, accumulating 42 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 pass deflections, Diggs has been troubled by calf, groin, and knee issues. The injury is not related to the torn ACL he suffered in the 2023 season but will still require extensive rehabilitation. The Cowboys, currently 5-8, have seen multiple key players, including quarterback Dak Prescott and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, sidelined by injuries, severely impacting their playoff hopes. Diggs' absence is a significant blow to a defense that has already lost several starters and is now preparing for their upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. Cornerbacks Amani Oruwariye and Andrew Booth have been elevated from the practice squad to fill the defensive gaps left by these injuries.
