Mandatory Credit: Scott Kinser-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-1\">The Dallas Cowboys placed cornerback Trevon Diggs on injured reserve Saturday, which will require him to miss at least four games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-2\">Diggs already had been ruled out by the Cowboys (3-3-1) for their game Sunday at the Denver Broncos (5-2).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-3\">Diggs sustained a concussion in an &#8220;accident at his home&#8221; last week and was ruled out for the Week 7 win over the visiting Washington Commanders. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and owner Jerry Jones have not shared details of the incident or described how Diggs was injured.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-4\">The 27-year-old Diggs has 18 tackles in six games (four starts) this season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">He was activated from the physically unable to perform list in August after missing the final six games last season with a left knee injury. The two-time Pro Bowl selection previously sustained a torn ACL in practice two games into the 2023 campaign.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-6\">In 64 games (61 starts) since Dallas drafted Diggs in the second round in 2020, he has recorded 20 interceptions, 63 passes defensed, 233 tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles. He was named first-team All-Pro in 2021, when he led the league with 11 interceptions and returned two of them for touchdowns.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-7\">Also Saturday, the Cowboys elevated defensive back Corey Ballantine and running back Malik Davis from the practice squad for the Denver game.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-8\">&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadspin | Cowboys put CB Trevon Diggs (concussion) on IR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":112692,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
