After a full offseason of rehab, Diggs\u2019 return to the field sounds imminent.<\/p>\n<p>Diggs shared an update on his recovery progress after the Cowboys\u2019 preseason finale Friday against the Atlanta Falcons at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. According to The Athletic\u2019s Jon Machota, Diggs\u2019 rehab work has \u201cpicked up\u201d significantly of late, and is expected to rise another notch by next week.<\/p>\n<p>While the report stated that Diggs was \u201cunlikely\u201d to be ready for Dallas\u2019 Week 1 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the man himself did not rule it out as a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very hungry,\u201d Diggs told reporters. \u201cI\u2019m itching to get back on the field. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fact that a Week 1 comeback is even an option should be encouraging for Cowboys fans awaiting Diggs\u2019 return. The Cowboys list Kaiir Elam as Diggs\u2019 depth chart replacement should the two-time Pro Bowler be sidelined for the early part of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Diggs\u2019 offseason recovery progress was controversial in and of itself. Diggs opted to rehab in Miami with his own team rather than work out under the supervision of Dallas\u2019 medical personnel.<\/p>\n<p>The decision triggered a $500,000 salary de-escalation clause in Diggs\u2019 contract for failing the team\u2019s requirement that players participate in about 85% of the team\u2019s offseason workouts. Dallas\u2019 decision to actually enforce the clause reportedly caught Diggs off guard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys&#8217; secondary is about to get a much-needed boost.
