Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs Done For Year?

Cowboys rookie Trevon Diggs might be done for the year. The cornerback suffered a late-game foot fracture on Sunday that will require at least 4-6 weeks to recover. The Cowboys will place Diggs on injured reserve, which keeps players sidelined for a minimum of three weeks. 

Now that we’re past the midpoint of the season, it will be tough for Diggs to return before its all over. The Cowboys won’t have much incentive to rush him back either. After falling 24-19 to the Steelers, the Cowboys are now 2-7 with little hope of reaching the postseason.

“I don’t know the prognosis in terms of long he’ll be out,” said owner Jerry Jones on Tuesday morning (via the team website). “I do know that he’s got the issue with his foot – again, I do not know the ultimate length of time that he’ll be out.”

Diggs, the No. 51 pick in this year’s draft, has been solid as of late. Unfortunately, he’ll have to put things on pause as he joins the Cowboys’ walking wounded. On offense alone, that list includes quarterback Dak Prescott, left tackle Tyron Smith, right tackle La’el Collins, and tight end Blake Jarwin.
