The Dallas Cowboys squandered a big opportunity last week to make up some ground in the NFC East. With the Eagles dropping a surprising game to the Chargers, Dallas had a chance to put some real pressure on them in the division. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get it done against the Lions, but the season isn’t over yet.
The Cowboys have another big opportunity this week against the Vikings on Sunday Night Football. They can’t control what the Eagles do, but they can notch another win and take care of their own business down the stretch.
One player who could help them with that is All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs, who’s been out on Injured Reserve since Week 6 with a concussion and knee injury. Diggs has yet to be formally activated off of IR — which he would need to be if he is to play — but he’s been practicing with the team and is officially listed as questionable on the team’s injury report for Sunday.

Some Cowboys beat reporters had a humorous interaction with Diggs during his media availability on Friday. He was made available for interview in the locker room following Dallas HC Brian Schottenheimer’s press conference.
“Do you feel like you’re ready to play this week?” one reporter asked Diggs.
“Yeah,” Diggs quickly responded.
“Do you think you will?”
“Yeah. Why are y’all asking me these questions? Ask him!” Diggs said with some frustration.
“We did.”
“All right, so what did he say?”
“He said we’ll see. So now we’re asking you,” the reporter responded with some chuckles from the assembled media.
“So why y’all asking me? I don’t make the rules,” Diggs responded. “That’s dumb. They gotta answer that question. But I’m ready, though,” he said with some grit.
If his energy in his media availability was any indication, Diggs is ready to get back out on the field and make an impact.

“I think our intensity level,” Diggs said on what the team needs to do down the stretch. “Just knowing what we gotta do to make this playoff push and just move forward,” Diggs said with a determined nod.
It’ll be an uphill climb for the Cowboys to claw their way back into playoff positioning, but it’s not impossible. They’re currently two and a half games out of the No. 7 seed, but their best chances might be to catch Philadelphia for the division, not earn a wildcard bid.
The Cowboys are just a game and a half back of the Eagles with four to go. They split with Philadelphia during the regular season and currently own a better division record, should a tie come into play. Starting on Sunday night against the Vikings, the Cowboys know what they have to do.
