Has the Cowboys Injury-Riddled Cornerback Played His Last Snap in Dallas?

The Dallas Cowboys have placed cornerback Trevon Diggs on injury reserve, which will have him miss the next four games and the foreseeable future for this struggling Dallas defense. The reason Diggs has been placed on injury reserve is a concussion, but the specifics of how he sustained it have not been disclosed. Diggs this season only played six games, and during those six games, he was still recovering from an injury he suffered last season. As Diggs attempts to recover from this concussion, many believe that he could have potentially played his last game as a Dallas Cowboy.

Diggs, to start his career, demonstrated his elite ball-hawking ability, being able to create turnovers, which is what the Dallas defense strived for under former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Diggs sustained his first major injury in 2023, just before the Cowboys' week three game against the Cardinals. Since then, it's been hard for him to return to the level of performance that many in the NFL recognized. He’s suffered setback after setback, which for a player at his position is difficult to recover from. His injury, combined with ongoing conflicts with the front office, further complicates his chances of staying on the roster. This issue was particularly evident during the offseason when he chose to do his rehabilitation in Florida instead of returning to Dallas.

Diggs and rumors of being cut or traded have been going on for years now, with many believing that if not for his injury last season against the Bengals, Dallas would have already gone. Now the same story is unfolding this year, and for Diggs's chances to remain in Dallas, they look slim despite no official reports stating anything. Cowboys reporter Nick Harris spoke on this, saying that he has not heard anything official; however, he feels that Diggs has played his last snap for the Cowboys. Diggs's strong start with the Cowboys led many to think he could be the star they had long sought in the secondary; however, it seems that his story may be coming to an end in Dallas.
