Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Spotted at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Diggs (concussion/knee) attended practice Thursday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs landed on injured reserve Saturday due in part to a concussion. It was subsequently revealed that the veteran cornerback is also dealing with a right knee injury. Diggs' appearance on the practice field Thursday could suggest that he's cleared concussion protocol, per Hoyt, but it doesn't necessarily change his timeframe for returning to action. Due to his placement on IR, Diggs isn't eligible to play again until at least Thursday, Nov. 27 versus Kansas City.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Also working through knee injury
Rotowire
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones relayed Tuesday that Diggs (concussion) is also rehabbing from a right knee injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a concussion that he sustained away from team activities. The 2020 second-rounder is also managing a right knee injury that could require minor surgery if rest and rehab isn't enough, though it's not to the same knee that he suffered a torn ACL and ligament damage to during the 2023 season. Diggs is eligible to be activated off injured reserve for Week 12 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 23, but it appears the sixth-year pro will stay on IR past that window. Kaiir Elam and Trikweze Bridges will continue to see extra snaps at outside corner as long as Diggs is out of action.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
Diggs (concussion) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.
Diggs was sidelined for the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Commanders due to a concussion, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games following his placement on IR. The 27-year-old appeared in Dallas' first six games this season, recording 18 total tackles. While he's sidelined for the foreseeable future, expect Caelen Carson to see increased snaps with the Cowboys' first-team defense.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Diggs (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Diggs suffered the injury in a home accident that caused him to miss Week 7. That he still wasn't able to practice Wednesday is a concern, as he'd likely need to turn in a full practice by Friday to have a chance to suit up in Week 8 against the Broncos.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Still in concussion protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer relayed Monday that Diggs is still in the league's concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs landed in concussion protocol after an incident in his home Thursday, which prevented from playing in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Commanders. He'll aim to return in practice in the coming week, but he would be required to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Broncos on Sunday.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: In concussion protocol, out Week 7
Rotowire
Diggs (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs had an incident in his home Thursday night that landed him in concussion protocol. He will need to clear the protocol to have a chance to return against the Broncos in Week 8. Diggs' absence Sunday will make a Cowboys secondary that has been the worst in the league at defending wide receivers even more vulnerable, though Washington may not have the personnel to capitalize given Terry McLaurin's (quadriceps) absence and the uncertainty over Deebo Samuel's (heel) availability.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Good to go for Week 6
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against Carolina, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs dealt with a knee injury throughout the week and was deemed questionable on Friday's final injury report. He's ultimately going to be able to play and will be joined as a starting cornerback by DaRon Bland, who is also active despite managing a shoulder issue.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Draws questionable tag for Week 6
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Diggs hasn't missed a game all season despite working through a lingering knee injury, so he's leaning towards the probable side of playing in Sunday's road game. The 2020 second-rounder has 15 tackles (11 solo) through the first five games of the 2025 regular season.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Limited at practice
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) logged another limited practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Diggs has been battling a knee injury throughout the entire season, but he's yet to miss any contests. The cornerback will have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, but considering he's practicing in any capacity, Diggs seems likely to play in Week 6.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Dealing with multiple injuries
Rotowire
Diggs is expected to play Sunday against the Packers despite shoulder, knee and hamstring issues, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Although the cornerback heads into Week 4 action absent from the final injury report, Diggs appears to be far from 100 percent. He underwent knee surgery in January and briefly left last week's loss to the Bears due to his shoulder before getting back on the field, but it was a right hamstring issue that nearly kept him out of the lineup entirely in Week 3. "Trey is dealing with some stuff like guys have to do," coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday. "Like I said, it's awesome to see him come back in the game last week. He got the shoulder dinged up and then to come back in and make a couple of physical plays, it was great to see." DaRon Bland's return this week will take some pressure off Diggs to return to form, but he has been a major liability in the secondary so far in 2025 -- he carries a stunning 158.3 QB rating against in coverage, having already allowed three touchdowns on only six targets sent his way.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Diggs (shoulder/knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Diggs was limited to 39 defensive snaps after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears. He was unable to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more opportunities to participate in at least a limited capacity heading into Sunday night's game against the Packers. Rookie seventh-rounder Trikweze Bridges (knee) would be -- if healthy -- the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Kaiir Elam if Diggs is not cleared to play.

Diggs (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest in Chicago, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs suffered a shoulder injury in the second half against the Bears, placing doubt on his ability to return. In his absence, Trikweze Bridges and C.J. Goodwin stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Pops up on injury report
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) was added to Dallas' injury report Saturday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Diggs was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough with an illness, but it's currently unclear how he picked up the knee injury, and he is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Bears. If he ends up being unable to play, C.J. Goodwin and Trikweze Bridges should be in line for increased playing time.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Gets in full practice
Rotowire
Diggs (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Diggs was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough session. Fresh off getting cooked by Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson last Sunday against the Giants, Diggs has a date with the Bears' wideout room of DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luther Burden this coming Sunday.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Absent from practice walk-through
Rotowire
Diggs (illness) was estimated as a DNP Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Diggs saw his snap rate jump to a normal level in Week 2 against the Giants, as he was on the field for 91 percent of defensive snaps. Though he begins the week unable to practice, there's no indication he's in danger of missing Dallas' Week 3 matchup against the Bears.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Full practice Monday
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) was a full participant at the Cowboys' practice Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs is officially lined up to return to the field in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Eagles. The cornerback underwent left knee surgery in January, but it appears he'll be available from Week 1 in his sixth season in Dallas.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Full practice participant
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's padded practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The cornerback avoided placement on the PUP list to begin the regular season as he completes his recovery from January knee surgery, but neither Diggs nor the Cowboys have committed yet to him being in the starting lineup for Week 1's clash with the Eagles. Diggs himself joked after the practice that he wanted to make his season debut "no later than Week 4" -- a reference to one of his best friends on the team, Micah Parsons, having just been traded to Green Bay, Dallas' Week 4 opponent -- but it seems likely he'll be on the field much sooner than that. If Diggs isn't ready for the season opener, the newly extended DaRon Bland would likely see more action at boundary corner rather than in the slot.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Aiming to start Week 1
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) said Monday that he has no limitations physically, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
It's no longer the condition of Diggs' knee that would potentially prevent him from playing in Week 1 at Philadelphia, but rather, from an extended absence from team activities dating back to Week 15 of last season that may have taken a toll on his conditioning and left him with a layer of rust. The Cowboys will open the regular season on Thursday, Sept. 7 at Philadelphia, leaving Diggs with relatively little time to get back up to speed. It's possible that Dallas opts to ease its $97 million corner back into action rather than throwing him into the deep end as soon as regular-season play begins.

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.
