Frisco, Texas – Trevon Diggs Returns to Practice Amid Uncertainty Over Future with Cowboys
Frisco, Texas – Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has returned to practice after a nine-week absence due to a concussion sustained in an at-home accident. Despite his readiness to rejoin the team, questions loom about his future with the Cowboys, given his contract status and recent performance.
Return to Practice
Diggs, who last played in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, has shown enthusiasm for getting back on the field. Following limited participation in practice sessions, his eagerness to contribute to the team is clear. The concussion, resulting from an off-field incident, led to his placement on injured reserve. This incident was compounded by a knee injury that has affected his performance throughout the season.
Contract and Future with the Cowboys
As the Cowboys look forward, uncertainty surrounds Diggs’ status within the team due to his contract. He currently has no guaranteed money for the 2026 season, with a reported salary of $14.5 million and a cap hit of $18.441 million. Diggs has expressed his desire to remain a Cowboy, noting his appreciation for the Dallas community and the relationships he has built. Nonetheless, he recognizes the business nature of professional football and maintains a pragmatic perspective regarding his future.
Background
At just 26 years old, Diggs has significantly contributed to the Cowboys since being drafted in 2020. Over his career, he has achieved 20 interceptions, 63 pass deflections, 215 tackles, one sack, and two forced fumbles. However, injuries have challenged his reliability on the field. Earlier this year, he underwent knee surgery, which kept him out for the latter part of the preceding season and raised concerns about his availability as the new season commenced.
Additionally, earlier this year, a de-escalator clause in Diggs’ contract triggered a $500,000 salary reduction due to his choice to rehabilitate his knee away from the team facility. The executive vice president of the Cowboys acknowledged the complexities of this situation, emphasizing the shared responsibility in navigating player health and contractual obligations.
As Diggs prepares to return to the lineup, both the Cowboys’ management and devoted fans are keenly observing how his performance will shape his future with the team in the evolving landscape of professional football.
