Trevon Diggs is 2 months early in ACL rehab

[speedkilz88]

Well, someone’s not telling the truth or at least has their facts wrong if Diggs is telling us how successful his rehab was and “others” are saying he didn’t take it seriously enough. I’m sure not in a position to say who is wrong, but someone is…

I think it may be a difference in opinion via Diggs did at least some of the rehab on his own time and maybe didn't do everything that he was suppose to do at the star.

A setback Jerry blames him for.........he is still in Jerry's dog house. I don't him returning after this season unless he has an ALL-PRO year.

It will probably be like the Cooper/Gallup/Lamb thing. Cooper (Diggs) got in the doghouse and we needed to decide whether to keep him or pay Gallup (Bland) to pair with Lamb (Revel), who was on a rookie contract.

Of course, this depends on Revel playing well enough to make it viable to cut Diggs, and Diggs not playing so well that it makes no sense to cut him. Cooper not only got into the doghouse but didn't play himself out of it. He was getting paid at a No. 1 receiver level at the time and didn't live up to it.

We save $13 million against the cap by cutting Diggs, so it makes sense as long as Bland and Revel play well. Of course, Gallup was coming off an ACL tear when we chose to pay him instead of keep Cooper, so it might not matter what anyone does and the Joneses will just cut or trade Diggs anyway.

I could see him not being the type of corner Eberflus wants since his corners have got to hold up against the run on the outside. That's definitely not Diggs' strength.

I think that's why Micah reacted the way that he did to criticism of Diggs, jumping to his defense. I think Diggs did what he thought his body needed but not necessarily all that the team was telling him to do. So therefore, even though he got back earlier than expected, the team blames him for the setback he experienced.

Maybe part of his reason for releasing this videos is to try to justify his approach.

BTW, I think this thread title should be changed. He isn't two months early; he was two months early last year.

Im calling bs, bet he doesn't play against the eagles

What's the bet? You can call players liars ... I won't.

Looks like it was posted about 2 hrs ago.

Just for the record, the Dallas surgeons are nothing to laugh at.

We don't need him to. When CB's that can tackle Barkley.

You calling him worthless and a coward?

It remains to be seen whether or not Diggs can return to the playing field when he's expected to or not. Jerry sounds like he's willing to allow him sufficient time to get back to game time action. Exactly what that might mean to Diggs and what it means to the Cowboys' staff is yet to be seen. It's that serious.

Maybe his injury was severe enough to cause serious concern as to when he'll be able to return safely. We'll see when the time comes for his return to be fully ready to play. The doctors will definitely have their say. They must not be inclined to rush his return haphazardly, with his entire career at stake.

He's been around the Cowboys long enough, I trust the man.

How far along is Diggs in rehabbing his propensity to allow receivers to get behind him and catch long passes?

 

[JoeKing]

Football ready is a whole other animal. I will believe it when I see it. And there is no guarantee he won't get injured the same or worse again. Continue to give it 100% with that prospect in mind, young Diggs. I welcome you back but I'm sorry if it includes skepticism over your ability to still be the ballhawk you once were.

I don’t understand this board sometimes. I guess you guys want Carson or Elam on an island alone. A healthy Diggs makes our team better for 2025. That is all we fans should be worried about. A dream secondary of Diggs, Bland, and Revel along with our pass rush is exciting to dream about.

 

[Jipper]

Surprise, surprise.

You disagree? Think he's going to play?

Seems like we hear this every year with offseason injuries to be ahead of schedule only to see either on the original schedule or behind by the time the season starts.

Same thing goes for in season injuries and unfortunately it sounds like we might be under staffed in the training room too based on the surveys of players last year

Yup.

There seems to be a marketing campaign from his agent.

His knee is jacked.

Dallas should IR him and then post June cut next March.

Or pay another year of mega $$$$.

He was elite before the knee.

Multiple ACLs and then a bone graft.

He’s likely bone on bone.

Trevon Diggs became a superstar during his second season with the Dallas Cowboys when he recorded 11 interceptions.

The 2020 second-round pick out of Alabama continued to develop into one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, leading to a five-year, $97 million contract extension ahead of the 2023 season.

Diggs tore his ACL after two games in 2023 and suffered an injury on the same knee in December of 2024. He was sent to the IR after 11 games, meaning he's suited up for just 13 over the past two years.

Determined to return to full health, Diggs has been rehabbing this offseason and has made excellent progress. He even surpassed a major milestone recently as he was able to run laterally while working with Alkeme Sports RX.

A really good cornerback pairing that someone forgot to turn that 30 year calendar on.

Yeah I think that's also likely the case, unfortunately this seems to happen more often than not

 

[John813]

Yea, I was a bit confused at which rehab this was for. Bummer it's about the 2024 comeback and not the 2025 rehab.

Anywho, hopefully his rehab this year is ahead of schedule as well.

With a new Pope and if the Dallas medical staff pulls out the holy water, I'm going not a step farther and believe what is before MY eyes.

Dallas has a lot invested in Diggs, who is the veteran leader of the secondary. If healthy, they could boast a deep unit led by Diggs and DaRon Bland.

This is not youth flag football here...tariffs aren't allowed in the NFL.
