Trevon Diggs apologizes to reporter following Sunday confrontation, gifts him can of Dee's Nuts

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has buried the hatchet with the reporter he had a confrontation with following Sunday’s loss to San Francisco. Diggs apologized to WFAA’s Mike Leslie on Wednesday after speaking with the media, even bringing gifts.

The moment between Diggs and Leslie ended with the Cowboys star dropping a “Deez nuts” joke while walking away. To make light of the moment, Diggs brought a couple cans of Dee’s Nuts. One went to Leslie while the other one was kept in Diggs’ possession. They cheersed the nut cans and officially moved on.

“Trevon Diggs and I have cleared the air,” Leslie said via X. “He apologized for the hallway incident, and I apologized for misreading the play — he explained that what I interpreted as him jogging was in fact him slow-playing a potential cutback from George Kittle. We buried the hatchet with a couple canisters of Dee’s Nuts, that he presented to me after his interview with press was complete.”

Originally, Leslie posted a video of the moment shared between them. However, the Cowboys made him take it down due to social media policy. You can check out the photos Leslie decided to post instead below.

Trevon Diggs misses Wednesday practice due to undisclosed injury

Diggs could miss the team’s Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons due to an injury. Per Jon Machota of The Athleitc, Diggs has an “undisclosed injury” and missed practice on Wednesday.

Through seven games this season, Diggs has recorded 28 tackles, one interception and four passes defended. The former Alabama Crimson Tide star only played in two games after tearing his ACL during practice.

After the Cowboys’ game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, Diggs was seen confronting a reporter for a social media post that questioned him during a play where 49ers tight end George Kittle made a big reception. On Monday Diggs spoke about the incident to fellow teammate Micah Parsons on his podcast.

“I just felt like it was unnecessary,” Diggs said. “I just felt like he was trying to use my name for clicks. After the game, I just happened to see it. I looked, clicked on it, seen who it was, and was like ‘Oh, he’s right here.’ I just saw you. So, I went up to him and spoke how I felt.”
