Trevon Diggs makes surprising return to Cowboys starting lineup against Chargers
The Dallas Cowboys have been navigating a challenging week, with the announcement that starting cornerback DaRon Bland has been placed on injured reserve due to a foot injury. This development leaves an already depleted secondary in a precarious position. However, there is a glimmer of hope as former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs inches closer to a comeback.
Diggs has been sidelined since Week 6, when the Cowboys faced the Carolina Panthers. His absence has been attributed to a combination of a concussion and knee issues, along with difficulties in finding his place within Matt Eberflus’ defensive scheme. This led to speculation that Diggs might not don a Cowboys uniform again this season.
Positive signs for Diggs’ return
Despite the initial concerns, insider Bryan Broaddus has provided encouraging news. While speaking on 105.3 The Fan, Broaddus revealed that sources within the organization have noted Diggs’ impressive week of practice. According to him, the coaching staff has observed significant improvement in his performance.
Broaddus stated, “Yeah, I just talked to a couple of folks in the organization. You did mention about him having a good week and some things, you know, improved with him, the way that he practiced and the way they felt about him practicing. And so it sounds like that he’s going to get the opportunity to get elevated this week and then be able to start for you on Sunday.”
This news has ignited discussions among fans and analysts alike, who are eager to see how Diggs’ return could impact the Cowboys’ defensive strategy against the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend.
As the Cowboys prepare for the matchup, the potential return of Diggs not only brings experience to a struggling secondary but also serves as a pivotal moment for a team aiming to solidify its playoff position. With the stakes high, all eyes will be on Diggs as he looks to make an impactful return to the field.
