Trevon Diggs Unexpectedly Sidelined Against Commanders
The Dallas Cowboys face a significant setback as Trevon Diggs is unexpectedly sidelined for their upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. This development highlights the challenges for a Cowboys defense already struggling this season.
Trevon Diggs’ Injury Impact on Cowboys
Cowboys head coach stated, “We’re gathering information,” regarding Diggs’s injury that occurred the previous night. The team’s defensive strategy will be tested, especially as they must confront quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Defensive Adjustments
Diggs will miss his third game this season due to injury. His absence places added pressure on the remaining defensive backs. Here’s how Dallas plans to adjust:
- Kaiir Elam: Acquired in the offseason, Elam is expected to step in as a starter.
- DaRon Bland: An All-Pro cornerback, Bland will continue to play a crucial role.
- Reddy Steward: He remains positioned as the nickel cornerback.
- Caelen Carson: Close to returning from injury, Carson participated fully in recent practices.
- Trikweze Bridges: He may join the game day roster this week.
- Robert Rochell: Eligible for elevation from the practice squad, adding depth options.
Team Roster Changes
To make room for potential reinforcements, the Cowboys waived wide receiver Jalen Cropper. They later re-signed him to the practice squad, providing flexibility as they adapt to Diggs’s absence.
As the Cowboys prepare for Week 7, the spotlight is on their defensive adjustments with Diggs out. The team hopes to mitigate the impact of his injury while continuing to build their season’s momentum.
Next Steps
The Cowboys will need to remain vigilant as they navigate the challenges ahead. The team is actively monitoring Diggs’s situation, which continues to develop as game day approaches.
