Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has been ruled out for Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders following an incident at his home on Thursday. The accident has placed Dig, who is a key defensive player for the Cowboys, in the concussion protocol, which will keep him sidelined for the game.
Details surrounding the accident remain unclear, but it is understood that the incident occurred on Thursday and resulted in Diggs being evaluated for potential concussion symptoms. The team has not provided further information on the nature of the accident or the extent of Diggs’ injuries. The Cowboys’ coaching staff will monitor his condition and determine if he will be eligible to return for future games.
With Diggs unavailable, the Cowboys will need to adjust their defensive strategy for Sunday’s game. The team is expected to rely on its depth at the cornerback position, with players like Anthony Zane and Jalen Pitre likely to step in. The absence of Diggs could impact the team’s ability to contain the Commanders’ passing attack, particularly given the threat posed by quarterback Taylor Heinicke.
The injury setback comes at a critical time for the Cowboys, who are in a competitive race for a playoff berth. The loss of Diggs may add pressure on the team to perform without one of its most reliable defensive players. Coach Mike McCarthy and his staff will be under scrutiny to adapt their game plan and maintain their chances of securing a postseason spot.
