Ven in the wild world of the NFL, sometimes things happen that are still hard to wrap our heads around\u2014 things like what will sideline Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs for a critical Week 7 home game against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrevon Diggs had an incident at his home last night that has landed him in the concussion protocol and will miss Sunday\u2019s game against Washington,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Todd Archer wrote on X on Friday, October 17.<\/em><\/p>\n

In health terms, Diggs seemed to be cruising along this season \u2014 he\u2019s played in all 6 games for the 2-3-1 Cowboys. That\u2019s notable only because Diggs\u2019 career over the last 3 years has been defined by injuries as he\u2019s missed 32 regular season games since 2022 with a variety of injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cCowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Trevon Diggs had an accident at his home last night,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s Jon Machota wrote on his official X account. \u201cHe has a concussion. He won\u2019t play Sunday.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Diggs\u2019 Struggles This Season Well Documented<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cowboys, somehow, are paying approximately $187 million for their 2 starting cornerbacks and getting little to no production out of them.<\/p>\n

Diggs is playing on a 5-year, $97 million contract he signed before the 2023 season. Fellow cornerback Daron Bland signed a 4-year, $90 million contract before the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cCornerbacks Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland \u2014 both signed to $90M contract extensions, have led the NFL in interceptions in their careers,\u201d former ESPN reporter Ed Werder wrote on his official X account on October 16. \u201cThis season, they have no interceptions and no passes defensed. They have not touched the football in six games \u2014 Diggs INT vs GB negated by penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Pro Football Focus, Diggs has a 58.7 overall grade through 6 games, which ranks him 94th out of 171 eligible cornerbacks.<\/p>\n

Shock, Surprise at Diggs Getting Hurt at Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

Injuries in the NFL are a given \u2014 injuries that occur on the practice field or at games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat news about Trevon Diggs is crazy,\u201d X user Ash Ambitious wrote on October 17. \u201cWhat was he doing at his house to get a concussion?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBreaking: Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs is in the concussion protocol and will miss Sunday\u2019s game after an \u2018accident at his home\u2019 last night, per Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer,\u201d Cowboys reporter Joseph Hoyt wrote on X. \u201cSchottenheimer said they\u2019re gathering info. He added that Diggs seems to be doing OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diggs Called NFL\u2019s \u2018Most Overrated Player\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few players in the NFL have been punching bags for the internet and NFL media like Diggs has been in recent years.<\/p>\n

In total, Bland and Diggs have only played 4 games together over the last 2 seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dallas Cowboys defense is absolutely awful,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Stephen A. Smith said on First Take on September 21. \u201cYou know it, I know it, anybody with 2 eyes can see it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTrevon Diggs is on the Mount Rushmore of most overrated players in the NFL,\u201d Philadelphia Eagles blog The Birds Blitz wrote on its official X account on September 21.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to recall at this point Diggs was considered one of the NFL\u2019s best defensive players in the not-so-distant past. He led the NFL in interceptions in 2021, when he earned NFL All-Pro honors, and was selected to the Pro Bowl in consecutive seasons in 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
