Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Ready to return to practice
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) passed his physical Sunday and has been activated from the active/PUP list, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Diggs has spent the offseason rehabbing from left knee surgery that he underwent in January. He started training camp on the PUP list, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to pass his physical and has been given the green light to return to practice. There's no guarantee that Diggs will be cleared to play in the Cowboys' regular-season opener against the Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 4, so his practice participation over the next two weeks will be worth monitoring. Kaiir Elam and Andrew Booth both started at corner in the Cowboys' first two preseason games and figure to be the frontrunners to start at outside corner opposite DaRon Bland if Diggs doesn't suit up for Week 1.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Not ruling out Week 1
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) continues to accelerate his rehab work and wouldn't rule out being in the lineup Week 1 against the Eagles when asked Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The star cornerback is making his way back from January knee surgery. Back in the spring and early summer, a lengthy absence to begin the season seemed almost certain for Diggs, but his progress suggests he might be able to miss fewer than the minimum four games that would be required if he were to remain on the PUP list. The Cowboys could use him back as quickly as possible given all their other injuries in the secondary, but the team isn't likely to jeopardize Diggs' long-term health by rushing him back in 2025.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Aiming for September return
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) says he's ahead of schedule in his recovery process and aiming for a September return, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
The cornerback opened training camp on the active/PUP list after undergoing surgery to repair a cartilage issue in the offseason. Last year, Diggs dealt with foot, ankle, calf, groin and knee issues that limited him to just 11 games, and in 2023, he tore his ACL after just two contests. If the 2021 All-Pro can meet his goal, he should be in line for a starting spot.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Expected to open camp on PUP list
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) is likely to open training camp on the PUP list after undergoing surgery for a cartilage issue in January, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday that he doesn't want Diggs to miss time during the rehab process, per Watkins. Diggs suffered a torn ACL during Week 3 of the 2023 season and left Dallas during that rehab process, though he still recovered in time to start the 2024 campaign before dealing with foot, ankle, calf and groin issues, as well as the knee cartilage injury that ultimately ended his season. The cornerback recorded 11 pass breakups, including two interceptions, last year in the 11 games he managed to play in.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: In doubt for start of season
Rotowire
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said last week that there's a "good chance" Diggs (knee) "may not be available" come Week 1, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Diggs had surgery in late January to address a cartilage injury to the same left knee in which he suffered an ACL tear in Sept. 2023. He returned from the ACL surgery to play 11 games last season, including each of the Cowboys' first 10 games, fighting through foot, ankle and calf injuries before a groin injury finally sidelined him. He returned after missing two weeks, only to suffer the season-ending knee cartilage injury during his first game back. He's now facing a lengthy rehab from a surgery that took place seven and a half months before Week 1.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Long recovery ahead
Rotowire
Diggs will undergo surgery this week to repair a knee cartilage injury and his recovery could take up to eight months, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Set for season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Diggs is expected to undergo surgery on his left knee will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, which will mark his third absence in four weeks. He's been a mainstay on Dallas' injury report all season, having also dealt with foot, ankle, calf and groin issues throughout the campaign. With surgery now on tap, Diggs' season comes to a sudden end after just 11 games, during which he tallied 42 tackles and two interceptions. The 26-year-old cornerback was limited to just two games in 2023 after suffering a torn ACL in the same knee, though his latest injury is considered unrelated and instead involves damage to the cartilage at the end of his bones in his joint, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Diggs is expected to face an eight-month recovery timeline from surgery, so while he'll likely remain out for offseason workouts in the spring, he could be cleared in advance of training camp in late July.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Questionable for Week 15
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
The Alabama product played through his knee injury in Dallas' Week 14 loss to the Bengals, recording five total tackles and three passes defended over 65 defensive snaps. He practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday but downgraded to an estimated DNP on Friday, which suggests he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Week 15. If Diggs is able to suit up Sunday, he'll serve as one of Dallas' starting outside cornerbacks.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Limited to begin practice week
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Diggs returned from a two-game absence Monday versus Cincinnati and played every one of Dallas' defensive snaps, finishing with five tackles and three pass defenses. His designation of limited Wednesday may simply reflect that he's not 100 percent recovered from the knee issue. Diggs' practice participation the rest of the week should help clarify whether he's in any danger of missing Sunday's contest against Carolina.

Rotowire
Diggs (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Diggs has been sidelined for the Cowboys' last two games due to knee and groin injuries. He appears to be over the groin issue, but his knee problem limited him in Thursday's practice.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Could return for Week 14
Rotowire
Head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that the extra rest following the Cowboys' Thanksgiving game win the Giants on Thursday could help Diggs (groin) be available for Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday, Dec. 9, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs has missed the Cowboys' last two games due to a groin injury. His chances to return for Week 14 would significantly increase if he's able to log some full practices in the lead-up to that game.

Diggs (groin) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Diggs was unable to play in Week 12 against the Commanders due to a groin injury.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Won't play vs. Commanders
Rotowire
Diggs (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Diggs was first listed on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday due to knee and groin injuries, which limited his practice participation in each of the last two sessions of the week. Diggs was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC East clash, but he will not travel with the team to Washington, and his next chance to play will be in Week 13 against the Giants on Thursday, Nov. 28. The Cowboys will be getting a reinforcement in the secondary in the form of cornerback DaRon Bland, who will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday after missing Dallas' first 10 games due to a foot injury he suffered in late August.

Diggs (groin/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
Diggs played through a calf injury in the Cowboys' last two games.

Diggs was held out of Friday's practice due to an illness, but it isn't serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. He was limited in practice to start the week due to a calf injury, and while he'll suit up for Week 10, he's unlikely playing at 100 percent health.

Diggs (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The Alabama product appears to be trending toward not playing Sunday, as he opened the Cowboys' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions before downgrading to no activity Friday.

Diggs (ankle) is active for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.
Diggs' chances of playing Sunday appeared to be in jeopardy after he popped up on Thursday's injury report and did not practice Friday. However, Diggs' ankle injury doesn't appear severe enough to keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. It's good news for the Cowboys, who will be without starting corner Caelen Carson (shoulder).
