The Cowboys get one of their most explosive weapons back in Week 7.
FRISCO, Texas – As the Cowboys prepare to face the Commanders at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, they’ll be getting some of their key playmakers back in KaVontae Turpin.
Turpin has missed the last two games with a foot injury for Dallas. After being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Turpin was a full participant in Friday’s practice and carries no injury designation, meaning he’s good to go.
“I feel like I’m back to 100%,” Turpin said. “No hurting in my toes, I feel good now that I can be out there competing with my guys on Sunday…”
“Wednesday, I took it one day at a time, every play at a time. Thursday I went out there ready to go, then today I went out there not even worrying about it, just knowing that I’m going to be out there Sunday.”
He’ll be joining fellow WR CeeDee Lamb back out on the field as well, who has missed the last three full games for Dallas with a high ankle sprain. In the absence of Lamb and Turpin, George Pickens has stepped up big for the Cowboys offense.
With the additions of Lamb and Turpin back into the lineup, the hope is that the NFL’s number one offense can only continue to improve under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
“I would just say just keep the trust in Schotty,” Turpin said. “Hopefully he can get everybody the ball, everybody’s out there trying to make a play. My boy [George Pickens] man, I just hope they keep finding ways to move him, put him in the slot, and find ways to get him the ball.”
In a weird turn of events, Trevon Diggs will not play this Sunday.
FRISCO — Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer announced Friday that starting cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss Sunday’s game against Washington with a concussion.
Schottenheimer said Diggs suffered the concussion as a result of an accident at his home on Thursday night. Schottenheimer was informed of the health issue Friday morning before speaking with reporters.
“Trevon Diggs came in this morning with some concussion symptoms after having an accident in his home,” Schottenheimer said. “He’s been checked out by our doctors and he is in the protocol and he’ll miss the game.”
Schottenheimer said he didn’t have details on how the accident occurred. He didn’t know if Diggs went to the hospital because he needed more information.
Several things will be under a microscope for the Cowboys...
