Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season due to a knee injury that requires surgery. The team announced that Diggs will not travel with them for the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers.
Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler and 2021 All-Pro, has been a pivotal part of the Cowboys’ secondary. This season, he recorded 42 tackles and two interceptions over 11 games. His absence is a significant setback for the Cowboys, who are currently 5-8 and striving to keep their playoff hopes alive.
In Diggs’ absence, the Cowboys will rely on cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Andrew Booth to step up. Booth has been elevated from the practice squad to provide additional depth in the secondary.
