Trevon Diggs injury: Stunning update emerges on Cowboys CB

In addition to missing Sunday’s game against the Panthers, Trevon Diggs is now expected to miss the rest of the year, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer reported. He will undergo surgery as he works through a knee injury.

Diggs’ procedure is scheduled for Sunday, according to Glazer, and it will keep him out the remainder of the year. He missed two games with the knee injury, but returned for Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.

Against Cincinnati, he had five tackles and three passes defended as the Cowboys fell in the final minutes, thanks in large part to a special teams blunder. Now, they’ll have to go through the rest of the year without one of their top DBs.

Diggs was limited in Wednesday and Thursday’s practice ahead of Week 15. However, he did not practice Friday and was questionable on the injury report heading into the weekend. That perhaps indicated he’d be able to go against the Panthers. However, that is no longer the case.

Dallas will also be without center Cooper Beebe for Saturday’s game due to a concussion, and safety Juanyeh Thomas is also out with a knee injury. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was listed as out on the injury report, but the expectation is he’ll miss the rest of the year and perhaps next season due to a serious knee injury suffered during Monday Night Football.

Trevon Diggs is the latest notable Cowboys player to suffer a season-ending injury, in addition to Overshown. Quarterback Dak Prescott is out for the year due to a hamstring injury that required surgery, and offensive lineman Zack Martin will also miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

Dallas fell to 5-8 with Monday’s loss to the Bengals, which came as the franchise looked to extend its winning streak to three games. The Cowboys will take on the Panthers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
