"Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023 after back to back Pro Bowl seasons but he has been beset by injuries since.This is the third straight year Diggs will spend at least a portion of the season on injured reserve. He missed 15 games in 2023 after suffering a torn ACL. He missed six games last year with a knee injury that ultimately required a surgery."
"Without Diggs, Kaiir Elam will start opposite DaRon Bland. When the Cowboys used three cornerbacks last week, Bland moved into the slot and Trikweze Bridges played outside. In addition to Diggs, the Cowboys will be without two starting safeties, with Juanyeh Thomas ruled out Saturday because of what is being called a migraine that impacts his vision. Donovan Wilson was ruled out with a shoulder issue Friday. Malik Hooker, a starter with Wilson, is on injured reserve with a toe injury."
Trevon Diggs was placed on injured reserve because of persistent concussion symptoms and will miss a minimum of four games, with eligibility to return on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs. The concussion followed a home accident on Oct. 16, and more information about the incident exists; Diggs is expected to address the circumstances in a future media appearance. Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023 but has faced repeated injuries, including a torn ACL in 2023 and a knee injury last year. The Cowboys will rely on secondary depth, with Kaiir Elam starting opposite DaRon Bland and multiple safeties unavailable.
