The Dallas Cowboys released their final Week 8 injury report on Friday, ahead of their matchup against the Denver Broncos at Mile High. Among the key updates, four players have been ruled out for Sunday’s game, including All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs, who will miss his second consecutive game due to a concussion sustained in a reported accident at his home.
Details surrounding Diggs’ injury have been shrouded in mystery, with the team and local media remaining tight-lipped about the incident. According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Diggs arrived at the Cowboys’ facility on October 17 with a visible mark on his head and was exhibiting concussion symptoms. This marks the first concrete detail shared about the moment Diggs informed the team of his accident.
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer acknowledged that he is aware of the circumstances surrounding the incident but stated it’s up to Diggs to share further details with the media. On Wednesday, Diggs was present in the locker room during media availability but did not speak to reporters. Notably, he was seen wearing a mask and a hoodie that covered his head, further fueling speculation about the situation.
The Cowboys’ decision to keep details under wraps is unusual for an injury of this significance, leaving fans and analysts wondering about the severity and implications of Diggs’ condition. Schottenheimer also indicated that the team has not ruled out placing Diggs on injured reserve, raising questions about whether the star cornerback has played his final snap for Dallas this season.
As the Cowboys prepare to face the Broncos without one of their defensive cornerstones, the lack of clarity surrounding Diggs’ injury continues to be a topic of intrigue. Whether more details will emerge or if Diggs will return to the field soon remains uncertain, but for now, the team is focused on moving forward while respecting Diggs’ privacy.
