It’s no walk in the park — this operation literally involves planting bits of bone tissue right into the joint, hoping nature will do its magic and spark some growth. Now, Diggs had that season opener marked in flashing neon on his calendar, so you can bet he’s pushing hard through rehab. Could he actually miss the first showdown with the Eagles on September 4th? Maybe. But here’s the kicker — he’s trending ahead of schedule and is aiming to lace up those cleats at some point in September. He’s been clear too, telling Clarence Hill that the dreaded reserve/physically unable to perform list won’t cage him this year, which thankfully means he won’t sit out the first chunk of games. Despite a 0,000 penalty from the Cowboys for not rehabbing at their facility enough, he’s giving a shoutout to his South Florida team for the surprisingly speedy recovery. Keep in mind, this isn’t brand-new territory for him — Diggs had already torn the ACL in the same knee earlier last season. The man’s grit is next level.
