The Dallas Cowboys hit the practice field Sunday afternoon, gearing up for a high-stakes Thursday Night Football clash against the Detroit Lions in Week 14. Riding a scorching three-game winning streak, the Cowboys are storming into December as one of the NFL’s most formidable squads—and they’re inching ever closer to peak form.
In a major boost, All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs has officially opened his 21-day practice window, signaling his imminent return from injured reserve after battling a concussion and knee injury. Diggs, a cornerstone of Dallas’ defense, has been sidelined for weeks, but his comeback is generating buzz across the league.
The concussion itself has been shrouded in mystery since it sidelined him earlier this year, with scant details emerging from the team. But on Sunday, Cowboys insider Clarence Hill pressed Diggs for answers—and the star defender finally cracked the silence, albeit briefly. When asked about the injury, Diggs dropped a cryptic bombshell: “At home accident.” He refused to elaborate further, leaving fans and analysts alike speculating about the enigmatic incident.
Previous reports offered only glimpses into the saga. Diggs reportedly arrived at the team facility on October 17 with a visible mark on his head and exhibiting clear concussion symptoms. NFL insider Josina Anderson added that the injury “did not result from a dispute,” ruling out any altercations but doing little to quench the curiosity.
As Diggs ramps up for action, he’s poised to suit up against the Lions, though his snap count remains a wildcard in his first game back. One thing’s crystal clear: He won’t be shifting to safety. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer shut down that notion emphatically, keeping Diggs locked in at his natural cornerback spot.
The primetime showdown at Ford Field kicks off Thursday, December 4, at 8:15 p.m. ET, streaming exclusively on Prime Video. Broadcasting legends Al Michaels will handle play-by-play duties, with Kirk Herbstreit delivering expert analysis and Kaylee Hartung reporting from the sidelines.
