Both players have been ruled out for the matchup, according to Jon Machota.

McCarthy said Diggs had a good workout Friday, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. Diggs, who missed Wednesday and Thursday’s practice, suffered a tear in his calf in last Sunday’s 30-24 Week 8 road defeat to the San Francisco 49ers (4-4), team owner Jerry Jones revealed Friday on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
“There’s specific drills we’ll need to him to do tomorrow. But he was much better today than we could’ve anticipated,” McCarthy said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “He’s doing everything he can to try to get ready for Sunday.”
Diggs, the two-time Pro Bowler and 2021 All-Pro, has suited up in all seven games this season after missing 15 games in 2023 due to a torn ACL. The 26-year-old has compiled 28 tackles (23 tackles), four passes defended and one interception. He has struggled in coverage, grading out 134th among 201 cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.
