The Trevon Diggs saga continues to be a weird one.
FRISCO — Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer hinted Wednesday that cornerback Trevon Diggs needs to do more in his rehab work to get taken off the injured list, where he’s been since Oct. 25.
Diggs has missed the last seven games due to soreness in both knees and concussion recovery. Diggs is no longer in concussion protocol but is rehabbing from knee issues.
He was limited in Wednesday’s practice. There was a belief Diggs would play against Detroit last week, but he was not moved from the injured list.
“In terms of Trevon, he’s still in the ramp period,” Schottenheimer said. “I think he does feel healthy, I know he wants to play, but at the end of the day, we have to do what we think is the best interest of not just him, but also the football team, and when you miss some time, there’s the ramp-up period. It is not just for your body, but for your mind and figuring out some of the defense, and there’s some new faces in the huddle and things like that. So again, love him as a player, but ultimately he’s got to show us he’s ready to do everything the right way.”
When asked what Diggs needs to do in a follow-up question, Schottenheimer said, “Everything. Consistency through everything. He’s no different than Dak Prescott or Jake Ferguson or Kenny Clark. Just continue to do everything the right way. Thought last week was a good first step and hopefully this week is an even better step, and if it is, you’ll see him out there.”

Two days later, he was waived.
“It was definitely a shock to me,” Flournoy said. “I was going to celebrate with my wife [for] making the 53-man the roster and then got the call. But honestly, I didn’t blink. I knew God had a plan, He’s going to pave the way. If my story wasn’t written by Him, I’d be lost.”
Flournoy recalled the events of the day, especially his meeting with Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
“It was a meeting, probably a quick 10-minute meeting, he said he would love to get me back, for me to survive waivers and stuff like that,” Flournoy said. “That he would be devastated if I was to go to a different team. I came back, got put on practice squad, got elevated and everything he said came true. He is a...
