"Upon speaking with the 2021 All-Pro, NFL Network's Jane Slater learned the home incident which resulted in his concussion was "far less nefarious" than speculation regarding the situation has implied (video link). Diggs has also been rehabbing a knee injury while recovering from the concussion, and his practice window opened on November 30. He will therefore need to be activated in the coming days to be able to play in Dallas' three remaining games."
"relationship between team and player has reportedly worsened over time in 2025. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has been in contact with Diggs about not only his health situation but also the need to meet the team's standards regarding on- and off-field matters. Under new DC Matt Eberflus, the Cowboys have largely struggled while attempting to implement his zone-heavy scheme. Diggs' past success has come in man coverage, and he conceded to Slater improvement is needed if he is find his footing in the Eberflus-led defense."
Trevon Diggs has appeared in just six games this season and remains on injured reserve despite believing he is healthy enough to play. A home incident that produced his concussion was described as far less nefarious than speculation, and Diggs has also been rehabbing a knee injury. His practice window opened November 30, requiring activation soon to play in Dallas' final three games. Relations between Diggs and the team have worsened in 2025, with coaches pressing health and conduct standards. The Cowboys' new zone-heavy scheme contrasts with Diggs' man-coverage strengths, and his contract runs through 2028 with no guarantees after this year, making a release capable of saving over $12.5MM while costing $5.88MM in dead money.
