Trevon Diggs Placed on Injured Reserve

Trevon Diggs, star cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, has been placed on injured reserve for the second consecutive season due to significant cartilage damage in his left knee, which will require bone graft surgery. The injury occurred during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 9, and the recovery timeline is estimated to be around eight months, potentially sidelining him until late in the 2025 season. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones described the injury as serious, necessitating a procedure to stimulate healing and strengthen the damaged area. Head coach Mike McCarthy expressed hope for a quicker recovery but acknowledged the lengthy rehabilitation process ahead. Diggs played only 10 games this season due to ongoing knee issues and previous injuries, including a torn ACL that kept him out for most of 2023. His absence will pose challenges for the Cowboys as they navigate a competitive season without one of their key defensive players.
