Cornerback Trevon Diggs did not play in the Cowboys’ 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday after he suffered an accident at his home that put him in concussion protocol. On Thursday, Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus said Diggs is still in concussion protocol, per The Athletic ‘s Jon Machota.

Diggs spent the preseason on the physically unable to perform list, but has started every game of the regular season. He’s recorded 18 tackles this season. After Dallas’ win over the Commanders this past weekend, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he spoke with Diggs about his concussion, but he declined to reveal how the two-time Pro Bowler suffered the injury.

“I don’t know the combination of the injury and how it impacted, regarding concussion issue, I’m not sure that I know the detail of how that happened,” Jones said, via Jeff Kolb  of  FOX 4 News. “He said what happened, and I’m not saying that didn’t happen. But a lot of times, you’re not the best viewer of what happened to you. … Yeah, no, I won’t get into that, but the bottom line is that I do expect him back.”

Trevon Diggs has battled a slew of injuries in recent years. After signing a a five–year, $97 million contract in 2023, Diggs tore his ACL in practice only two weeks into the regular season. He missed the remainder of the season.

In 2024, Diggs remained healthy for most of the season, but missed two games due to a groin injury. Ultimately, Diggs underwent another knee injury on the same leg he’d torn his ACL in the previous season and missed the rest of the season.
