Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer announced star cornerback Trevon Diggs has been ruled out of Sunday’s game vs. Washington after suffering a concussion in an accident at his home Thursday night, according to The Athletic ‘s Jon Machota.
This will be Diggs’ first missed game of the 2025 season despite some nagging issues, though he was momentarily benched as a starter in a 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers due to an unspecified off-the-field episode. Otherwise, Diggs has started the Cowboys’ other five games this season.
“He’s been banged up a little bit,” Schottenheimer said of Diggs after the Week 4 game vs. the Packers. “I’ve been a little tough on Trevon, just in terms of the consistency and things like that. But man, I thought he played really well tonight. I’m proud of him.”
Diggs has 18 total tackles, including 13 solo, in six games this season, though has yet to record an interception. The former Alabama product led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, the season where he was named First Team All-Pro. He’s recorded just six interceptions in the four seasons following that monstrous campaign.
In 2023, Diggs played in just 11 of the Cowboys’ 17 regular season games because he dealt with multiple injuries, including an injured left knee, which he had surgery on during the offseason. He appears however to be healthy this season and has been a key member of a struggling Dallas defense under first-year defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus .
