The Dallas Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak after beating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. Their next game is against the Detroit Lions next Thursday, and according to team owner Jerry Jones, one of their veteran defensive players will be back on the field barring a setback. That guy is cornerback Trevon Diggs.
Diggs has played in six games this season, with his last coming against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. However, it was announced just two days before the Cowboys faced the Washington Commanders in Week 7 that Diggs would miss the game due to suffering a concussion at his home. A week later, the former second-round pick was placed on injured reserve.
A healthy Diggs will undoubtedly be welcomed in the Cowboys’ secondary. Second-year cornerback Caelen Carson, although he missed the game versus the Chiefs with a hamstring issue, has played very solid football since coming back from his original alignment. Also, rookie Shavon Revel is showing signs of why he was looked at as a first-rounder before falling to the Cowboys in the third round due to a torn ACL in his final collegiate season.
Adding Diggs to this mix plus having DaRon Bland puts Dallas in a favorable spot at cornerback as they continue to fight for a playoff spot. Of course, Diggs will have to perform well for that to fully be true. Nonetheless, having him on the field would certainly be a positive for the Cowboys.
