Even in the wild world of the NFL, sometimes things happen that are still hard to wrap our heads around— things like what will sideline Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs for a critical Week 7 home game against the Washington Commanders.
“Trevon Diggs had an incident at his home last night that has landed him in the concussion protocol and will miss Sunday’s game against Washington,” ESPN’s Todd Archer wrote on X on Friday, October 17.
In health terms, Diggs seemed to be cruising along this season — he’s played in all 6 games for the 2-3-1 Cowboys. That’s notable only because Diggs’ career over the last 3 years has been defined by injuries as he’s missed 32 regular season games since 2022 with a variety of injuries.
“Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Trevon Diggs had an accident at his home last night,” The Athletic’s Jon Machota wrote on his official X account. “He has a concussion. He won’t play Sunday.”
Diggs’ Struggles This Season Well Documented
The Cowboys, somehow, are paying approximately $187 million for their 2 starting cornerbacks and getting little to no production out of them.
Diggs is playing on a 5-year, $97 million contract he signed before the 2023 season. Fellow cornerback Daron Bland signed a 4-year, $90 million contract before the 2025 season.
“Cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland — both signed to $90M contract extensions, have led the NFL in interceptions in their careers,” former ESPN reporter Ed Werder wrote on his official X account on October 16. “This season, they have no interceptions and no passes defensed. They have not touched the football in six games — Diggs INT vs GB negated by penalty.”
According to Pro Football Focus, Diggs has a 58.7 overall grade through 6 games, which ranks him 94th out of 171 eligible cornerbacks.
