"It was learned yesterday that the Cowboys were aiming to open Trevon Diggs' practice window this weekend. That has indeed taken place. Diggs was designated for return on Sunday, per a team announcement. The veteran corner is now eligible to practice as a result. He can be activated any time within the next 21 days. Getting Diggs back in the fold shortly will represent another positive development for the Cowboys' defense."
"Diggs suffered a concussion at home before ultimately landing on IR. Issues regarding his knee - albeit not the one which has been responsible for considerable missed time in previous years - were also a factor in Diggs being sidelined for an extended period. The two-time Pro Bowler will be expected to reprise a starting role once he is activated."
"Known as a man coverage specialist, Diggs was among the members of the Cowboys who struggled early in the season under new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus' reliance on zone coverage. The former All-Pro posted the worst figures of his career in terms of completion percentage and passer rating allowed during his six games played prior to being moved to IR. Improvement on that front would help Diggs contribute down the stretch, and it could boost his chances of remaining in Dallas past the current season."
Trevon Diggs was designated for return and is eligible to practice, with activation possible anytime within the next 21 days. Diggs landed on IR after a concussion and knee issues that contributed to an extended absence. He is expected to resume a starting role once activated. The Cowboys' defense has improved recently with returns and trade additions, and Diggs' healthy, consistent play could further strengthen the unit. Diggs struggled early under increased zone usage, posting career-worst coverage metrics before IR. He remains under contract through 2028 but faces uncertainty due to limited future guarantees.
