Shockwaves Hit Cowboys: Trevon Diggs’ Sunday Status Throws Defense Into Turmoil

Trevon Diggs, the Cowboys’ standout cornerback, is once again on the sidelines after a concussion sidelined him late last week — and it’s looking bleak for his return against the Broncos this Sunday. He hasn’t hit the practice field yet, which means there’s a strict protocol he needs to navigate before donning the jersey again. Now, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer spilled the beans during a chat on 105.3 The Fan Friday morning — he doesn’t anticipate Diggs taking part in practice today, effectively dimming hopes for his availability come game day. “I don’t think Trevon will be able to make it,” Schottenheimer admitted. Meanwhile, the Cowboys leaned heavily on DaRon Bland and Kaiir Elam, with Trikweze Bridges stepping in as a third corner during their victory over the Commanders — and it seems that trio will once again shoulder the load in Denver.

Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs was ruled out in Week 7 after suffering a concussion at home late in the week and it looks like they’re going to be without him against the Broncos this Sunday as well.

Diggs has not practiced yet this week, which leaves him with a number of steps to take before he’s out of the concussion protocol. During a Friday morning appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that he doesn’t think Diggs will practice Friday and that will all but rule out the cornerback taking them before it is time to play on Sunday.

“I don’t think Trevon will be able to make it,” Schottenheimer said.

DaRon Bland and Kaiir Elam started at corner for the Cowboys with Trikweze Bridges joining them as the third cornerback in their win over the Commanders. A similar approach will likely be in place in Denver.
