Trevon Diggs remains uncertain to play in the Sept. 4 season opener as he continues rehabbing a left-knee injury and has not yet practiced. He is currently on the physically unable to perform list, though the Cowboys could carry him on the 53-man roster instead of placing him on PUP. His rehab work has accelerated recently and he plans to increase practice reps to assess readiness. Diggs missed most of 2023 with a torn ACL and underwent chondral tissue graft surgery in January, and he rehabbed primarily in south Florida over the offseason. A de-escalator clause reduced his 2025 base salary by $500,000.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is not sure if he will be able to play the regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4, but he might start the season on the 53-man roster anyway. Diggs is currently on the physically unable to perform list and has yet to practice, but he said, "I feel way better than I should feel." Asked about playing Week 1, Diggs said, "Maybe, maybe not."
He said his rehab work has picked up recently and he will do more over the next few days as the Cowboys make their final decisions on the roster and turn their attention to the Eagles. "I want to practice a lot," Diggs said. "I want to get as much practice as possible, get the game reps in, get the live reps in. I haven't practiced in a while, so I feel the practice will tell a lot more where I am."
Diggs' 2024 season ended with four games to play because of a left knee injury that required chondral tissue graft surgery in January. He missed all but two games in 2023 because of a torn ACL in his left knee suffered in a practice. The two surgeries were unrelated. Diggs opted to rehab mostly in south Florida in the offseason, leading to the Cowboys enforcing a de-escalator clause in his contract that cost him $500,000 of his base salary.
