The Dallas Cowboys have officially placed cornerback Trevon Diggs on injured reserve, a move confirmed by the team’s executive vice president Stephen Jones on Saturday. This decision follows Diggs’ absence in last Sunday’s victory against the Washington Commanders due to a concussion. As a result, he is expected to miss a minimum of four games.
Before last week’s game, Diggs was also dealing with a knee injury, which contributed to his inability to participate in the matchup against the Commanders. The Cowboys now face the challenge of adjusting their roster without one of their key defensive players.
To fill the gap left by Diggs, the team has elevated cornerback Corey Ballentine from the practice squad. Alongside him, the Cowboys will rely on DaRon Bland, Kaiir Elam, Trikwese Bridges, Caelen Carson, and Reddy Stewart in the secondary. This adjustment highlights the depth of the Cowboys’ roster as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos.
In addition to the changes in the cornerback position, running back Malik Davis has also been elevated for Sunday’s game. The Cowboys will look to maintain their momentum as they navigate this period without Diggs, who has been a vital part of their defensive strategy this season.
The team’s ability to adapt will be crucial as they aim to continue their success on the field.
