The future of talented cornerback Trevon Diggs with the Dallas Cowboys has been in question thanks, in part, to his lack of availability with the franchise in recent weeks. That included appearing on the injury report with a concussion, despite not playing.
Diggs clarified that he suffered the concussion while trying to mount a television to the ceiling with a pole mount. The mount apparatus fell on his head, causing the concussion.
He shared video of the setup with Jane Slater in an attempt to quiet some of the speculation about how it could have happened. According to Slater, Trevon Diggs said he “didn’t think it was going to be a big deal and didn’t need to be addressed, but speculation on the Internet went way too far.”
“I was trying to be a handyman,” Diggs said. Unfortunately, he injured himself in the process.
