Trevon Diggs Sidelined by Concussion After Mysterious Accident Dallas Cowboys Face Setback
The Dallas Cowboys face another setback as cornerback Trevon Diggs is sidelined by a concussion. Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer announced that Diggs will miss the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders due to this mysterious injury. The cause of the concussion remains unclear, although it occurred at Diggs’ home.
Trevon Diggs’ Absence Impacts Cowboys
Schottenheimer confirmed that medical professionals have evaluated Diggs, who is now under the concussion protocol. The Cowboys, currently ranked third in the NFC East with a 2-3-1 record, face a tough challenge. They follow closely behind the Commanders, who hold a 3-3 record.
Cowboys’ Defensive Struggles
- Current rank: Last in yards per game (411.7)
- Passing yards against: 269.5 per game
- Opponent quarterback rating: 117
Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus struggles with a unit that ranks low in several key defensive statistics. Last week, ex-Cowboy Rico Dowdle torched the defense with 183 rushing yards.
Offensive Boost from CeeDee Lamb
On the brighter side, star receiver CeeDee Lamb is expected to return after missing three games with an ankle injury. His comeback promises to add firepower to an already explosive offense, which averages 29.7 points per game with 387.5 yards per game, a figure that tops the league.
Stepping Up: Trikweze Bridges and Caelen Carsen
In Diggs’ absence, the Cowboys will rely on rookie Trikweze Bridges and second-year corner Caelen Carsen to fill the gap in defense. Schottenheimer emphasized resilience, stating, “It’s part of the business. We want the best for Trevon and wish him well.”
