Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs didn’t play in Dallas’ 44-22 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He was in concussion protocol after suffering an accident at his house.

Diggs also won’t be available this weekend for the Cowboys’ showdown against the Denver Broncos. On Friday, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones opened up on Diggs’ injury.

“He’s had several things going on that pertain to past injuries. So there are things we’re looking at there,” Jones said , per The Athletic ‘s Jon Machota. “We haven’t ruled that out (injured reserve). We’ll look at that tomorrow as well.”

Diggs spent the preseason on the physically unable to perform list, but had started every game of the regular season before suffering his concussion. 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. However, Jones 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.
