Dallas Cowboys Cornerback Trevon Diggs to miss rest of 2023 NFL season due to injury; Here’s what happened
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Thursday's practice, leaving him sidelined for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season. The devastating blow has sent shockwaves through the Cowboys' defense, and they now face the daunting task of filling the void left by their star cornerback.
Trevon Diggs' Sudden Injury Update
The unfortunate incident took place during the early stages of Thursday's practice, specifically during one-on-one drills.
Witnesses saw Diggs on crutches after practice, indicating that something serious had occurred. Subsequent MRI results confirmed the worst – Diggs had torn his ACL, requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
The Cowboys swiftly addressed the injury, issuing a statement saying, «A timetable for Diggs' return to play has not been established, but he is currently projected to miss the remainder of the current season.» This news is undoubtedly a significant blow to the team's aspirations for the 2023 campaign.
With Diggs now out of the picture, the Cowboys would now quickly have to devise a plan to shore up their secondary, which had looked formidable with Diggs and Stephon Gilmore holding down the outside.
One option being considered is moving DaRon Bland, who excelled in the slot last season, to take Diggs' spot on the outside. Bland showcased his potential with interceptions and even a pick-six in Week 1, suggesting he's up for the challenge.
Another possibility is Jourdan Lewis, who recently returned from a Lisfranc injury sustained last October.
While Lewis primarily played in the slot, his versatility allows him to contribute outside as well. His experience could be valuable in filling the gap left by Diggs.
