Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss Sunday’s game at Carolina because of a lingering knee issue. According to FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer, Diggs won’t play again this season and will undergo knee surgery.
Diggs was downgraded to out on the injury report Saturday. The Cowboys (5-8) also placed linebacker DeMarvion Overshown on reserve/injured after he tore multiple ligaments in his right knee in the last game. Furthermore, they’re without quarterback Dak Prescott, guard Zack Martin and defensive end Sam Williams due to injury for the rest of the season, while pass-rusher DeMarcus Lawrence has been out since injuring his foot in Week 4.
Diggs had missed two games with groin and knee injuries before returning for Monday night’s 27-20 loss to Cincinnati, when he had five tackles and three passes defended. He missed 15 games last year after a torn ACL in his left knee.
The game against the Bengals was the only one this season when Diggs, a 2021 All-Pro, played together with DaRon Bland, a 2023 All-Pro after setting an NFL record with five interception returns for touchdowns. Bland missed the first 10 games with a foot injury.
