Trevon Diggs shares surprising details of concussion from home mishap
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs made a much-anticipated return from injured reserve on Sunday when the team faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, his comeback could not turn the tide for a beleaguered secondary, as the Cowboys succumbed to a hefty 34-point defeat. In the aftermath of the game, Diggs opened up about the mysterious concussion that had sidelined him earlier this season, shedding light on an unexpected incident at home.
The Unusual Cause of His Concussion
Diggs suffered the concussion in late October, prior to his placement on injured reserve. Addressing reporters after the game, he recounted the bizarre circumstances surrounding his injury. In an effort to embrace his inner “handyman,” Diggs found himself on the receiving end of an unexpected mishap when a mounted television pole fell from the ceiling, striking him on the head.
“After nearly two months, Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs gives answer on how his concussion happened at home,” Brianna Aldridge of CBS News Texas noted on X. “He added it was a larger one that hangs from the ceiling. Diggs jokingly said he was trying to be a ‘handyman.'”
Navigating Injury and Return
In addition to the concussion, Diggs was managing a persistent knee injury when he was initially placed on injured reserve, a move that temporarily halted his season. He was activated just in time for Sunday’s game, as his 21-day practice window came to a close. This season, Diggs has played in only six games, accumulating 18 tackles, but has yet to make a significant impact with any interceptions or passes defensed.
As the Cowboys continue to grapple with their defensive challenges, Diggs’ return adds a layer of complexity to their efforts moving forward. His unique story of injury serves as a reminder that, in the world of professional sports, not all setbacks come from the field.
