Cowboys Place Trevon Diggs on Injured Reserve Due to Knee Injury

Trevon Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler and former NFL interception leader, has been placed on injured reserve by the Dallas Cowboys due to lingering issues with his right knee, sidelining him for at least four games. Although he missed Week 7's game because of a concussion from an at-home accident, the knee injury is the primary reason for his IR status, with the team hoping for his eventual return this season. Diggs has struggled this season, allowing a high passer rating and yards per reception, and his absence adds to the Cowboys' defensive challenges as they hold a 3-3-1 record entering Week 8. There are concerns about Diggs' future with the team following reported dissatisfaction from Cowboys executives over his rehab efforts and leadership, as well as his apparent disengagement after the trade of close teammate Micah Parsons. Despite these issues, Dallas executives express optimism that Diggs can recover fully and contribute later in the season. The Cowboys' decision to place Diggs on IR reflects both injury management and broader questions about his role on the team moving forward.
