News: PFT: Trevon Diggs to undergo bone graft surgery on his left knee

[HungryLion]

Overshown now Diggs. 2025 season already has dark clouds gathering.

They’re both cooked. A real front office would bring in their replacements this offseason.

Of course we know our front office won’t do so and will be trying to sell how they’re expecting Overshown and Diggs back any day. And “they’re ahead of schedule” and all that other BS

 

[HungryLion]

We need to triple dip at corner in the first 2 days of the draft.

This is a dream come true for you.

We need more CB’s to help cover for our backup level DT’s up front.

 

[CWR]

Hasn't it, though. Not only have we suffered way too many injuries, but ones that will affect next season as well with two of our stars, Diggs and Overshown.

Its not often your season sucks so hard it's clearly going to carry over into next year. Lol. I mean damn, just end already.

Of course we lose TWO of our more legitimate defenders.

What does Dr Jerry have to say about it? Are they both already in the greatest football shape of their lives yet?

I'm trying to figure out why the team would even keep him through this rehab? We know from his last knee injury that he's no rehab warrior. Next season is shot. On the cowboys side, we only gauranteed him 33M. So we are out of this contract and the remaining 64M owed him.

Man the hits just keep coming and unfortunately a number of these injuries will impact the 2025 season as well. I was looking forward to a fresh start next season at full strength and it's just put a damper on the team outlook.

This surgery for Diggs is significant and bone graft is a long recovery. I'm certainly worried he will lose speed and won't be the same player he was a couple years ago. Dez Bryant was never the same player after injuring his foot and needing graft surgery. Obviously different injury for Diggs and hope he can come back OK from this, because safety with his tackling just isn't a good position for him.

 

[DallasInDC]

Why do I get the feeling he’ll never be the same? (As he was pre injury 1)

Neither will Dak after his most recent injury. That's why I think the CBA should include language that gives cap relief for players that are not longer on the team due to injury...I understand there is the potential to abuse this, but I'm sure there are ways to ensure it's not used to manipulate the cap.

 

[baltcowboy]

IDK......injuries are part of the game but he has not played well. In fact, I would be inclined to resign Lewis to let Diggs walk after next season. Strongly consider CB with top 3 picks

This is a disaster. I mean we already need a defensive tackle, running back, middle linebacker, wide receivers, ect. How many more leaks can this team spring. Cornerback has to be considered early even ones coming off of injury unfortunately. The scary thing is we have 3 games left to get more injured..

 

[john van brocklin]

What a special season this has been.

The " Dumpster Fire " season.

 

[rambo2]

Doesn’t matter. They’ve already essentially admitted that next year is another throw away season.

It’s called outsmarting the rest of the league.

Lol

 

[rambo2]

Yep. But we knew this team was doomed for years with the Prescott deal. He played poorly this year and there is no getting out of that contract anytime soon. And Jerry will never admit a mistake and try to get rid of him, similar to how the eagles did with Wentz.

Next year this team will be bad again. They are not going to sign any free agents as they are about to make Parsons the highest paid defender ever. I'm sure they will overpay bland as well.

This team is doomed for at least another 2 or 3 years.

Lol

 

[rambo2]

Nice to see so many happy people at Christmas time.

 

[krs1bro]

yawn......got paid and, well watch the tape. lame

 

[DuncanIso]

Bland is better than Diggs.

He is now.

before the knee injuries, Diggs was an elite CB.

he likely never takes another snap for us.

 

[DuncanIso]

He's done. Let him go hang out in Loserville with Overshown.

He’s going to get cut.

not sure of the timing.

 

[Chasing6]

Maybe part of it is we need to come face to face with the fact DQs pressure oriented defense is a big reason our dbs shinned. The run defense though...

Then offenses adjusted and just ran it down our throats, especially when we make no attempt to fix the problem.

 

[exciter]

If Josh Butler didn't get hurt, maybe he could have been a viable answer. I wish Diggs a speedy recovery.

Exactly what do you think a CB who runs a 4.7 is going to be the answer to?

 

[Tabascocat]

That knee will never be the same. Glad he got paid because that is his last NFL contract

 

[PAPPYDOG]

He is now.

before the knee injuries, Diggs was an elite CB.

he likely never takes another snap for us.

The word ELITE applied for 1 season where he faced mostly below-average QB.
The only Cowboy player who might come close to Elite is Micah and he's another player who goes MIA when facing real teams.
